Bunnings Community Activities Organiser Sarah painted a lovely mural for the 3 Year Old Kinder outdoor learning space.

For the 4 year old Kinder she came with seedlings and soil and mulch to teach the children about layering their vegetables. This is planned to be an ongoing activity as the growing seasons change.
This has also stimulated our interest in setting up a Bush Kinder program for next year if we are successful in a grants application program.

“It takes a village to raise a child: (African Proverb)
“The Family Centre is our own little village! (We) parents and children have made lifelong friends here – we are just like family now – we are there for each other, and the staff are there for everyone! It’s amazing to watch all our kids grow together is such a safe and welcoming. It’s our second home.” (Quote from Parent)
