"We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously."
Grace Lee Boggs
Thank you so much to all our children, families and educators for such a joyful Saturday at our Working Bee. There was an amazing sense of belonging and community as we worked together to make Our Place more beautiful for the children. It was very heart warming to see everyone's sense of satisfaction, pride and accomplishment as each job was completed.

This morning the sun accompanied a little breeze in the late summer leaves at Green Point Reserve. Our Nature Play 2025, has begun.
Our soft footsteps on Dharawal Country did not disturb the birds, dragonflies or bees… do you think they were waiting for us?
There was an abundance of dandelion, leaf litter and sticks to collect - a wild natural environment is healthy for the heart.
Today’s wonderings were about butterflies. We didn’t see any today, but that doesn’t mean that they will not be waiting for us, when we return next week.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Amazing! I love the topic! Will it be recorded at all?
Congratulations ladies. What an honour for you both.
Today we joyfully engaged in Professional Development with the amazing Deb from Stalia Designs.
Learning how to make a lamp shade from sustainable materials, featuring our love of flowers, was on high our wish list.
And thanks to our Management Committee who support our creativity., we were able to experience the opportunity to develop our skills so we can share our skills with our children. ❤️
Our day was filled with joy, conversation, wonder, curiosity, exploration, conversation, experimentation and collaboration.
Thank you so much to Deb ❤️❤️❤️

Happy New Year to our preschool community. We hope 2025 brings you joy, happiness and many wonderful adventures.
We are so privileged when children share their view of the world with us. During 2024 Emilia gifted us with finding "the beautiful" at Our Place as she watered the plants on our verandah. Thank you Emilia for making our hearts sing.
These are Emilia's photos of ‘the beautiful’.
This year and always we hope you find "the beautiful" everyday.

Last week, at Our Place we welcomed our families to celebrate our Grandparents.
Our afternoon was filled with so much joy as we watched our children delight in playing with their families and proudly showing them their preschool.
The children received high praise for the wattle seed cupcakes they had baked for their families. We enjoyed watching families participate in outdoor play; games of noughts and crosses; building with magnetic blocks; and children painting their families' portraits; reading books, building amazing cup towers and pyramids, and cooking and serving food in the cafe.
Thank you to everyone who visited Our Place to celebrate.
