🌟 At Majura Early Childhood Centre, our children dive into play-based learning by using paintbrushes and water to write on the floor! This fun activity boosts early literacy, fine motor skills, and creativity. 🌈✨

By strengthening pre-writing skills, hand-eye coordination, and muscle control, our little ones gain confidence and independence in a risk-free environment where mistakes simply evaporate. 💧🖌️

This hands-on experience also promotes collaboration and social learning as children observe, share, and celebrate their efforts together. 🤝🎉

Our use of water as a writing tool reflects Northside’s commitment to sustainability and nature-based learning, teaching children to be resourceful while respecting the environment. 🌿🌍

🌟 Supporting Children’s Emotional Development at Treehouse 🌟

At Treehouse, our Safe Place helps children acknowledge, regulate, and express their emotions. It combines the Conscious Discipline skill of composure with the power of perception, guiding children through five steps of self-regulation:

1. I Am – Acknowledge the initial upset.
2. I Calm – Engage in active calming (breathing, sensory/fidget toys, etc.).
3. I Feel – Identify the feeling (with or without an educator’s help).
4. I Choose – Consciously choose additional calming activities.
5. I Solve – Solve the original problem with the help of an educator.

We are proud to be rated Exceeding National Quality Standard, reflecting our commitment to excellence in early childhood education.
