Why Outdoor Play is More Than Just Fun!
As parents, we all want what’s best for our little ones. Did you know that outdoor play is one of the most important things you can give your child? At Kids Cottage, our oversized, natural backyard is a place where big adventures and lifelong benefits come to life.
Here’s how outdoor play helps your child:
โ
Boosts Physical Health: Running, climbing, and exploring improve strength, coordination, and balance.
โ
Builds Confidence: Trying new activities in a safe space helps children feel brave and capable.
โ
Encourages Creativity: Open-ended play sparks imagination and problem-solving skills.
โ
Supports Mental Wellbeing: Fresh air and free play reduce stress and promote happiness.
And the best part? Many of our parents say their children don’t want to leave at the end of the day because they’re having so much fun!
If this sounds like the kind of environment you want for your child, we’d love to show you around. Book a tour and come experience the joy of outdoor play at Kids Cottage.

โจ Reading is Magic! โจ
This week, our preschoolers dived into the enchanting world of books as we celebrated National Book Week with the theme “Reading is Magic.” From dressing up as their favourite storybook characters to exploring magical tales during storytime, the joy and wonder in their eyes was truly magical! ๐โจ
Books have the power to transport us to faraway lands, introduce us to fascinating characters, and spark our imaginations. We’re thrilled to see our little ones developing a love for reading and discovering the magic in every page. ๐
Swipe through to see some of the magical moments from our Book Week celebrations!

Imagine a preschool where kids are busy building castles out of sticks, creating masterpieces with bottle caps, and turning cardboard boxes into spaceships. That’s the magic of loose parts play! When children have access to these everyday items, their imaginations run wild. They become little engineers, artists, and storytellers, all while developing essential skills like problem-solving, coordination, and teamwork. Plus, loose parts play encourages them to think outside the box—literally! So, while they’re busy crafting and creating, they’re also learning to collaborate and communicate, all in the name of fun. Who knew a pile of rocks could be so educational? #dural #galston #glenhaven #kenthurst #castlehill #northkellyville #annangrove #cherrybrook #thehills #hillsdistrictlocals #hillsdistrictmums #hillsdistricdads #preschool #earlylearningmatters #earlylearning #learningthroughplay #earlychildhoodeducation #invitationtoplay #natureplay #childledlearning #playallday #pretendplay #loosepartsplay #looseparts

National Simultaneous Story Time ๐๐ฆ๐๐งต๐ชฅ On Wednesday 22nd May @kidscottageelc participated along with 2.3 million other people in the National Story time reading Bowerbird Blues by @auraparker . We watched the live stream of Aura Parker reading the book. Participating in @alianational National Simultaneous Story time promotes the value of reading and literacy in a fun way.

The cool mornings have certainly hit and much to the children’s delight orange season is here. This week our children finally got to have a taste of fresh oranges after so patiently waiting for the ones one our tree to be ready. The children worked hard to juice the oranges and then got tired appreciate their hard work when having a taste of the juice they made. Involving children in making fresh orange juice was so much fun but also educational. It enhances their fine motor skills and hand strength, as they grip and press the juicer. The process also offers a practical lesson in nutrition and the benefits of healthy eating, fostering an early appreciation for fresh, homemade food. Do you think your child would benefit from our holistic approach to education and being apart of a beautiful community? Then now’s the time to tour before you miss out and need to be placed on our waitlist.

The cooler weather brought us inside earlier today. So we took advantage of the darker afternoon and explored playing with light on the projector. #dural #glenhaven #cherrybrook #castle #duralchildcare #hillsdistrict #reggioinspired #reggioinspiredpreschool #reggioinspiredteachers #playistheworkofchildhood #playmatters #playislearning #play #lightplay #sensoryplay #followthechild #childledlearning #socialemotionallearning #socialemotionaldevelopment #toddlers #preschoolers #preschool #materialsmatter #loveyourwork #womanownedbuisness #proudteacher #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyyears #ece

Will you be coming to our open day?
You might be beginning your journey to look for a centre for your child, or you maybe be looking for a new one, where ever you are on your journey we welcome or even encourage you to come along to our Open Day/ First Birthday Event.
This event is only for those who appreciate high quality early education and want the best for their child. If you just want daycare we might not be for you.
See the thing is we strive for the best at Kids Cottage. A place that children grow a love for learning, feel loved and apart of a community.
Also, what you might not realise is we have a highly experienced team with Educators who have been around for a while. Ones that are in Early Childhood because they are passionate and also share the dream to make a difference, in a child’s life.
Now …. Please take the time next Sunday 5th May, come along and take a look. So when you decide on a centre for your family you will know you have considered all your options!

Here at Kids Cottage our learning program is holistic and child centred. Experienced and skilled educators extend on children’s interest to make learning meaningful to the child. Our number one goal is for children to LOVE learning. We create environments that spark children’s curiosity and encourage them to engage in deep level play and learning. Is this something you want for your child? We keep telling you we are not like any other centre, but you need to come and see for yourself!!! Book your tour, availability is limited!!! In this reel you see children busily engaged in looking for fosssils, they have been searching rocks for days. Today with the addition of water and paintbrushes the children had a closer look and then documented their findings which supported the development of their pre-literacy skills ! #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool #daycare #earthday #earthday2024 #childhoodunplugged #childhoodmemories #thesearethegoodolddays #parentlife #parenthood #hillsdistrict #hillsdistrictmums #hillsdistrictdads #hillsdistrictbusinessmums #dural #castlehill #cherrybrook #glenhaven #kenthurst #galston

Have a look at this beautiful art piece our children began working on this week, we can’t want to see how this develops over the coming weeks. Providing our children the opportunity to engage in process art provides a wholistic and child centred approach that supports children’s development across many areas such as encouraging creativity, promoting problem solving skills, enhancing sensory development, builds on self confidence, fosters collaboration and communication, and supports cognitive development. #kidsactivities #familyfun #children #kidsplayideas #playtime #sensoryplay #preschool #earlylearningmatters #earlylearning #learningthroughplay #earlychildhoodeducation #invitationtoplay #childledlearning #dural #galston #glenhaven #kenthurst #castlehill #northkellyville #annangrove #cherrybrook #thehills #hillsdistrictlocals #hillsdistrictmums #hillsdistricdads
