Aldinga Beach Children's Centre

Come & join us for our Reconciliation Week community event on Wednesday.

Last Wednesday 20th May we celebrated World Bee Day and were lucky enough to have a visit from Jill and her buzzy bee 🐝 from Doo Bee Honey.
The children were so excited to learn all about how bees work and why they are so important to our world.
The children got to taste honey, explore a bee hive and discover how bees settle down to sleep. They also got to try on a bee keeper suit. And ask lots of questions.
A very big thank you to Jill, Emma and Rory 🙏🐝
Don’t forget to check Doo Bee Honey out at the Willunga Farmers Markets 🐝🐝🐝

The Meet the Author session is taking place on Monday. There are still some spaces available if you are interested in coming along.

This week in kindy we celebrated a mini sport day.
From parent feedback last term about our ‘Stay & Plays’ a family asked if we could do a stay and play that included gross motor activities. We value family feedback, so took this on board and organised a fun sports day ‘Stay & Play’.
This term we have been learning about fundamental movement skills. We have been working on throwing and catching and 2 feet jumping with motor bike landings. Children were excited to show their families what they have been learning.
What a turn out thank you to all our families for coming along and making it so special.

ABCC would like to thank all our wonderful volunteers, we value your time and contributions to our centre. From sorting Oz Harvest food to doing odd jobs in kindy we see you and we thank you 🙏 💙💜

To our amazing community, we have some special news…

Aldinga Beach Children’s Centre will become an ‘integrated hub’ from term 1, 2028.

This means our centre will evolve to bring more programs and services together so our local community can access the support they need in one place.

As an integrated hub, the preschool hours will change from 15 hours per week to 30 hours a week for 3 and 4 year old children. Children will be considered through a priority of access process.

This is a big and exciting change and we look forward to working with our local community to bring this to life.

For more information on integrated hubs and preschool for 3 year olds, visit the Office for Early Childhood Development website.
