Twin Towns Community Kindergarten.

09/09/2026

We are incredibly grateful to Cr Gail O'Neill - Division 14 for awarding Twin Towns Kindergarten a Community Discretionary Grant to support Phase 1 of our “Under the Fig Tree: Growing, Creating and Connecting” project! 💛

🌳 Phase 1: Gathering Together will see the replacement of the much-loved deck beneath our iconic fig tree. The new deck will provide a safe and accessible space for our children and community to gather, learn, tell stories, play and connect.

But this is just the beginning! 🌱

🥕 Phase 2: Growing Together will focus on relocating our vegetable garden to a sunnier position, creating more opportunities for children to grow vegetables and herbs while learning about gardening, sustainability and healthy eating.

🔨 Phase 3: Creating Together will bring to life a dedicated children's woodworking and tinkering space, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, practical skills and child-led learning. An important part of this phase will also be connecting with local community groups, including woodworking clubs, to share skills, knowledge and experiences with our children and create meaningful connections between generations.

As a community-based, not-for-profit Kindy, projects like these simply wouldn't be possible without the generosity and support of community grants, donations and volunteer hours.

Thank you, Councillor Gail O’Neill, for supporting our vision and helping us take the first exciting step towards bringing it to life!

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful father figures in our Kindy community!

At Twin Towns Kindy we recently celebrated with our special Father’s Day Walk on Country at the Minjungbal Aboriginal Museum. What a beautiful morning it was!

Anthony and Cody from Biren Cultural Group took us on a walk through the bush, where we learned about the local animals, trees and plants, bush medicine and bush tucker. Along the way, we collected natural items to bring back and use to make a fire for our smoking ceremony.

One of the most special parts of the day was seeing our dads helping to start the fire and sharing this experience alongside the children. These moments are such an important reminder of the positive role that male figures can play in our children's lives.

We were lucky to have dads, grandpas and even a few grandmas join us for the adventure — because at the end of the day, it is all about the special people who show up, spend time, share knowledge and help guide our little people as they grow. 🌈

Thank you to Anthony and Cody for sharing their knowledge with us, and to all of our wonderful families who joined us for such a meaningful morning on Country.

🌿 Happy Early Educators’ Day! 🌿

A huge thank you to our beautiful educators for taking such wonderful care of our little people every day.

For the endless patience, the hugs, the wiping of noses, answering “why?” approximately 4,000 times a day and somehow keeping up with all that beautiful Kindy energy — we appreciate you more than words can say!

Today, we are celebrating our amazing team with a special morning tea and some well-deserved goodie bags, because everyone deserves a little spoiling now and then!

Our children (and all of us!) are so lucky to have you! 🌈✨

🌭❤️ WOW... YOU DID IT! ❤️🌭
What an incredible day!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by our sausage sizzle, bought a snag, grabbed a drink, made a donation, or simply cheered us on. Your support means the world to us.

We're so excited to share that after costs, we raised over $2,200! 🎉

Every single dollar will go straight back to the kids—creating more magical experiences, enriching their learning, supporting nature play, and making our little kindy an even more amazing place to grow, explore, and belong.

A massive shout-out to our incredible volunteers who gave up their Saturday to cook, serve, clean, smile, and keep the onions (mostly) under control. We couldn't have done it without you! 🌭🔥

To our wonderful community—thank you for showing up, supporting local, and believing in what we do. Every sausage really did make a difference.

Our hearts (and BBQ tongs) are full. 💚

See you at the next fundraiser!

🌭 Got lunch sorted for Saturday? You do now! 🌭
This Saturday, 1 August, swing by Tweed Bunnings and grab yourself a snag (or two... we're not judging 😉).

Every delicious sausage sold helps support TTK and the incredible kids who learn, grow, play, and thrive with us. ❤️

Think of it this way...
🌭 You get lunch.
❤️ The kids get the benefits.
🤝 Everyone wins.

So bring your family, your mates, your neighbours, and even that person who always "isn't hungry" but somehow ends up eating half your sausage. 😂
We'll be there serving up snags with smiles, so come say hello and help us make this fundraiser a sizzling success!

See you at the BBQ! 🔥

Well... 👀

We may have accidentally been practising digital hibernation for a little while... 🐻💤

But guess what?

✨ We're back! ✨

While our page has been a little quiet, our beautiful little kindy certainly hasn't. We've been busy getting muddy, climbing trees, making potions, creating masterpieces, baking, singing, laughing, learning, and watching little humans grow into kind, capable, curious people.
So it's time to dust off this page, wipe away the cobwebs, and start sharing the magic that happens here. 💚

🌱 Want to volunteer? We'd love an extra pair of hands (especially next Saturday August 1st at our Bunnings sausage sizzle fundraiser).

💛 Want to donate? Every contribution, big or small, helps us create magical learning experiences and keep our little community thriving.

👋 Want to simply follow along? Stick around!
We'll be sharing our adventures, projects, events, and plenty of heartwarming moments.

Thank you for finding us again (or finding us for the first time). We can't wait to reconnect with our wonderful community.

Now... where did we leave the password? 😅

The teaching team at TTK are always there to support each child and their family during morning transitions .
Lean in we are always ready to support .

Separation anxiety is a normal part of development, especially when starting in a new learning environment.

Keep goodbyes short and positive, reassure your child of when you'll return, and talk with educators prior about the best ways to comfort and support them.

Consistent morning routines can help to minimise rushing, which helps everyone feel more relaxed, and chat with your child on the way home to ask about the highlights of their day. This emphasizes the parts they enjoyed, which you can remind them of the next morning.

Finally, remember that it’s okay to ease in gradually. Educators are accustomed to accommodating a wide range of needs right throughout the year, but especially in the early weeks. Goodbyes can feel hard, but there will be an approach that works well for your child, and your family. Together, we've got this!
