Sesame Lane Redcliffe

🇦🇺 We have a new Aussie resident! 🇦🇺
Please join us in congratulating our “energetic” 🤣 Educational Leader, Jenna, on officially becoming a Permanent Resident of Australia! 🐨
Jenna joined our team in February 2025 and from the very beginning we knew we couldn’t let her go. Sponsoring her was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made, and what a wonderful decision it has been! 💫
Jenna has made such a huge impact on our centre through her passion, dedication and care for our children, families and our team. We are so excited to have her with us for many more years to come 💜
Sorry Liverpool… your scouser is staying with us, she’s a Queenslander now 🇦🇺 👏🏼

🌿🔥 OUR BUSH KINDY PROGRAM JUST GOT A HUGE UPGRADE! 🔥🌿

Our team recently had the incredible opportunity to take part in a hands-on Bush Kindy professional learning experience and we are SO excited about what this means for our children 🌱

Guided by the amazing Vicci from Wildlings Forest School, educators explored ropes, knots, temporary shelters, safe tool use, and meaningful campfire experiences, all designed to deepen children’s connection with nature and outdoor learning 🪵✨

Through this experience, our team gained practical skills and fresh inspiration to create even richer Bush Kindy adventures where children can build confidence, resilience, independence, creativity, and problem-solving skills in real and meaningful ways 🍃

Bush Kindy (Wild Wonders) is so much more than outdoor play it gives children opportunities to take safe risks, work together, care for the environment, develop persistence, and learn through curiosity and exploration 🌏🐞

We cannot wait to bring these exciting new ideas into our Kindy program and watch the children thrive as they climb, build, create, discover, and connect with the natural world around them 💚 Wildlings Forest School

We love the Fun Friday Reels just as much as Colleen loves us on rostering days 👀🤣

There is something so special about working with little humans 💛
Every single day is filled with wonder, imagination, curiosity, laughter and joy. From the endless questions to the magical stories they create, our days are never boring and always full of fun!
Watching children explore, learn and grow through play is such a privilege, and we absolutely love creating a space where their creativity can shine ✨
Have you seen our Kindy Hub yet? 👀
It’s a beautiful space designed to inspire learning, discovery and imagination, and we would love for you to come and have a look!
Come see the magic for yourself 🌈

We use Technology as a powerful tool for creativity, collaboration, curiosity and investigation💡✨
At our Kindergarten Hub, the children have been loving using the projector to explore light and shadows. From creating shadow animals with their hands to experimenting with movement, size and position, the children have been deeply engaged in hands-on discovery and scientific thinking 🌑🖐️
Experiences like these support the goals of the QKLG by encouraging children to become confident and involved learners as they investigate, problem solve, communicate ideas and work together with their peers ✨

✏️🖐️ Did You Know? 🧩🎨

Supporting fine motor development is about so much more than just learning to write a name! Before children can confidently hold a pencil and form letters, there are many important foundational skills they need to develop first ✏️
At our Kindergarten Hub, we support fine motor skills through everyday play and experiences such as:
🧱 Building with blocks
✂️ Cutting and gluing
🖍️ Drawing and painting
🧵 Threading and beading
🥄 Using tongs and utensils
🧩 Completing puzzles
🌿 Exploring natural materials
These activities help strengthen the small muscles in children’s hands and fingers, improve coordination, and build the control needed for future writing skills💛
We believe learning happens through play, exploration and meaningful experiences, and every little activity helps prepare children for the next step in their learning journey ⭐️

Sesame Lane Redcliffe families, this Wednesday, 3rd September, we celebrate the heart and soul of our community, our Early Childhood Educators.

Every day, they go above and beyond, nurturing little minds, supporting families and creating safe, joyful spaces where children can learn, grow, and be themselves. Their roles are so varied, from planning the curriculum and documenting each child’s learning journey, to managing paperwork and everything behind the scenes and yet they do it all with smiles, patience, and boundless care.

Join us in celebrating these incredible people who give so much, often without recognition, yet make an enormous difference in the lives of our children and families.
