π We are proud to celebrate our Kindy 4 team for their excellent inquiry project submitted as part of our re-certification as a Little Scientists House.
The project was praised for being βan outstanding, child-led project that clearly followed the inquiry cycle and kept STEM at its core.Educators created open-ended, engaging experiences that supported children to collect ideas, test hypotheses, refine their thinking, and explore STEM concepts in meaningful ways.β
Did you know that our educators participate in numerous STEM professional development workshops with Little Scientists as part of the certification process? Their dedication ensures that STEM learning is integrated throughout our entire service, evident in all learning spaces.
We are delighted to share that this is the third time we have been certified as a Little Scientists House.
π¬πΏ Proudly a Little Scientists House since 2021.

So great. An awesome achievement
The K4 Children made a healthy banana smoothie with the extra bananas we had from breakfast (waste not want not). For this experience they listed all the ingredients they would need and the procedure to carry it out.
Following this, they set up a smoothie stall and had turns at operating it. They had to use their communication and social skills and as customers and vendor. This meant lining up in an orderly fashion, patiently waiting their turn, greeting each other, placing an order, making a payment and using their manners at all parts of the transaction.
In free play later on, some children set up their own smoothies stall behind the sand pit and practised using the ladle to scoop it out for serving.
Our new commercial kosher kitchen has been operational for five months now and we could not be more than happy with the new space.
π Supporting Our Educators and Their Wellbeing π
Our old kitchen has been completely transformed into a beautiful new workspace for our educators! ππ» This calm and inviting area gives our team the space they need to complete important documentation and create meaningful learning plans for each child.
At Ruth Landau Harp Early Learning, we believe that educator wellbeing is at the heart of quality education. When our educators are supported, our children thrive. π
Did you know that each room receives one full day every week of non-contact time to complete individual plans for every childβs developmental goals and learning experiences? This exceeds the Childrenβs Services Award requirement of just two hours per week!
We are so proud to go above and beyond to ensure every childβs learning journey is thoughtfully planned and supported. πβ¨
Congrats

π Splish, Splash, and So Much Fun! π¦
Our youngest Explorers had a wonderful time outdoors, enjoying some water play! Using different bowls, cups, and watering cans, the children poured, mixed, and experimented with coloured water, discovering new textures and sounds along the way.
There was plenty of splashing, laughter, and joy as everyone joined in the fun (and got a little wet too!). Water play is a fantastic way for our babies to develop their sensory awareness, coordination, and curiosity β all while having a great time together! π§π
