The Little Ones are Learning About Beach Activites and Sea Life

We are currently exploring a range of sea life and beach activities with the children.

Ranging from a variety of books available for story times to constructing a big boat in the block area.

The boat building went on to developing some great balancing skills with walking the plank with a one eyed pirate and some eager shipmates.

What would imagination play be without a fairy princess and a dragon to join the “walking the plank” play.

Lots of giggles and amazing cooperation developed between the Toddlers and the Preschoolers during these activities.

Our New School Space is Complete

We are thrilled that the hard work on building up our new extension to School space for our pre-schoolers is paying off!

A big thank you to our electrician, teachers, our new cook Jackie and the special helpers who have all worked tirelessly over the weekend.

This special room will be dedicated for use by our extension children every morning (4 years and above) to prepare them for school and build on their literacy, numeracy, leadership, confidence, social skills and a host of other important school readiness including the most important of all – to ignite their curiosity and love of learning!

Lighthouse has a strong focus on education and the overall well-being of our children, the Extension to School program is a proud tradition of all Lighthouse centres.

The Extension to School program will be further developed, fine-tuned over the next couple of months, and it will be head up by our new teacher Aaron Mitchell (who is both Early Childhood and Primary trained and qualified), and receive full support from our management team and local primary schools. Keep an eye on this space to see how quickly this room evolves!

We would also love to have your (our parents’) feedback on this project and hear your aspirations for your children’s learning. Please do stop and chat to us about this if you have a minute or two.
