Ngala Early Learning

We’re excited to share that we have recently introduced Happy Feet at Ngala Joondalup! 👣🎶

Happy Feet is a fun and engaging dance and movement program designed specifically for young children. Through music, movement, rhythm and dance, the children are encouraged to develop their gross motor skills, coordination, balance, confidence, listening skills and self-expression - all while having lots of fun!

It has been wonderful to see the children getting involved, moving their bodies and enjoying the opportunity to explore music and movement in a fun and playful way.

We’re looking forward to continuing to provide our little ones with new experiences that support their learning, development and wellbeing. 💜

📆 Upcoming Long Weekend Update 📆

A friendly reminder that we'll be closed on Monday, 28 September, for the public holiday.

All our centres will be back open on Tuesday with their usual opening hours. 💜

Last week, our Early Learning Centres were filled with the magic of Book Week as children and educators celebrated a shared love of reading, storytelling and imagination.

We're sharing a glimpse of some of the creative costumes from our Joondalup team, who got into the spirit of the week! Thank you to everyone who helped make Book Week such a memorable experience for the children. 💜

Last week, the children at our Joondalup Centre enjoyed an engaging hospital incursion, where they learned about the important roles of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in our community. 🏥🩺

Through interactive activities and role-play, the children explored hospital equipment, learned how healthcare workers help keep us healthy, and built confidence around what can sometimes be an unfamiliar experience.

A big thank you to our wonderful visitors for sharing their time, knowledge, and passion with the children. It was a fantastic experience that sparked curiosity, learning, and plenty of smiles!

Earlier this month, we welcomed Eco Actions to our Kensington Early Learning Centre for a fun and interactive mini beast workshop as part of Insect Week.

The children learned about a variety of invertebrates, including insects and arachnids, and discovered the important role they play in our ecosystems. They also had the opportunity to carefully handle a range of mini beasts, including stick insects, giant burrowing cockroaches, beetles, caterpillars, and more.

There were lots of smiles, curious questions, and moments of wonder as the children interacted with these fascinating creatures up close. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they explored and developed a greater appreciation for the amazing world of invertebrates. Thank you to Eco Actions for such an engaging experience!

Over the past few weeks at Ngala Joondalup, one of our wonderful educators, Patinya, has led a fantastic garden project with the children. Together, they transformed part of the outdoor environment into a beautiful vegetable garden by planting, caring for and nurturing a variety of vegetables.

The children eagerly watched their plants grow, learning about the gardening process along the way, before harvesting their produce to enjoy as part of their lunch. It was a joy to see the children’s excitement, pride and sense of achievement throughout this project.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our Joondalup families who generously donated items and supported this initiative. Their kindness and involvement helped make this such a meaningful learning experience for the children. 🌱

Our little adventurers at our Kensington centre have been embracing the joy of mud play, splashing, digging, creating and getting wonderfully messy!

Mud play is more than just fun. It encourages creativity, sensory exploration, problem-solving and a connection with nature. Watching children laugh, explore and get their hands dirty is a great reminder that some of the best learning happens outside the classroom.

From muddy masterpieces to squishy mud kitchens, there were smiles, giggles and plenty of muddy memories made throughout the day. 💜

Children and educators at our Claremont Early Learning Centre participated in a range of activities and learning experiences last week as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations. Across all rooms and age groups, children explored Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures through creative, hands-on experiences, with the centre also featuring a NAIDOC display in the foyer.

These photos capture some of the meaningful moments and displays from across the centre throughout the week.

Recently at our Joondalup Early Learning Centre, children enjoyed an exciting African Drumming Incursion filled with rhythm, movement and cultural discovery.

Children across all age groups explored traditional African drumming, learned new rhythms and experienced the joy of creating music together. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm, confidence and engagement as they immersed themselves in this vibrant cultural experience.

A big thank you to the talented presenters for delivering such a fun and memorable day of learning, laughter and music! 💜🥁
