We had a special parent visitor at the service today, who arrived in an ambulance! Marica, kindly showed the children medical demonstrations using a teddy. The children were shown Band-Aids, bandages, a pressure device, and an oxygen mask. Marika talked about how these tools are used and then used helping hands from some of our Kindy children to demonstrate how these first aid tools work.
We enjoyed hearing the siren 🚨 and looking at the siren lights 🚑. We explored the dynamics of how the stretcher bed is operated and how it is used to transport people safely to the emergency department at the hospital. Jayden did a fantastic job at role-play by being a fantastic patient.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Marika for giving her time and for providing such wonderful hands-on learning experience for our children.
Miss Megan extended our gross motor skills by creating a target practice game using balls that were dipped in paint. The children took turns dipping the balls in the tray of paint and throwing the balls against the paper on the fence to create a unique artwork.

During book week, Miss Emma created a sensory tray, based on the book “We're Going on a Bear Hunt.” The children had the opportunity to explore different textures related to the book. The had a pretend bridge, snow, bears, trees, and flowers. The children took great delight in exploring the sensory tray. Together we explored the concepts of going under, over, and through just like in the book.
I love this!! 💙
Amazing Miss Emma 🥰
On the 16th and 17th of May, our Centre went through Assessment and Rating. We are extremely proud of our team, the wonderful feedback, and our rating. We have included the summary comments from the Assessor below.
Ruth Landau Early Learning is a not-for-profit service located at a Jewish synagogue in the Perth metropolitan area, providing a unique early years education and care service for their local community.
The service philosophy outlines a strong commitment to upholding a high level of care through active engagement with the community, quality-driven staffing arrangements, and extensive professional development. This was evident in the considered approach to program development and delivery, where Jewish values, customs, and traditions are guided by specialised Jewish studies teachers that are above the regulated ratio requirement, alongside the educational leader and educators, who work with a small group of children they know well, to deliver children’s individual learning and development programs and form close relationships. In addition, and also above regulatory staffing requirements, is the 1:3 ratio for the youngest children in the service, which intentionally provides these children more time to build nurturing relationships with their educators and ensure their individual needs are carefully provided. Whilst all aspects of the service operations strongly represented the synagogue-based community, with an embedded focus on Jewish festivals, values, and traditions, the service also prioritises the integration and focus of the Early Years Learning Framework and sector research and learning, with ongoing critical reflection including all stakeholders providing changes to practice and improvements to the service. Positive impacts were evident in operations, staffing, and the environment, such as considerable community grants achieved alongside board support, to improve outside play spaces for children, install security enhancements and improve the effectiveness and sustainability of cooling and heating of the inside play space.
Interactions between educators, children, and families were consistent with the service philosophy and their approach to creating a sense of belonging at the service and building warm and genuine relationships. Children appeared settled and comfortable in their environment, demonstrating their sense of belonging through their interactions with educators and peers. Outcomes for children were further enhanced through a high level of engagement with their community, including visits from Rabbi’s and parents who regularly support the delivery of the integrated program, for both Jewish and non-Jewish background families.
The service is acknowledged for their ongoing commitment to quality improvement to achieve the best possible outcomes for the children in partnership with families and their community.
We wish the service well as you continue your quality improvement journey to achieve the best outcomes for the children attending your service.

The Explorer's children engaged in a sensory activity with natural resources and grains. The Educators encouraged the children to use tongs to collect gum nuts and leaves. A few of the Explorers children were able to use the tongs, whilst others were using their hands to collect the natural resources. Experiences using tongs are great for helping children to develop the strength and coordination they need in the small muscles of the hands – the muscles responsible for cutting with scissors, grasping a pencil, and writing and feeding by themselves.
