National Sea Week at Piney Lakes!

Celebrating National Sea Week at Piney Lakes Childcare Centre

 

At Piney Lakes Childcare Centre, we were proud to celebrate National Sea Week, taking the opportunity to inspire young minds about the wonders of the ocean and the importance of preserving our beautiful marine environment. As a family-owned childcare business, we believed in fostering a sense of responsibility and respect for the world around us, helping children grow into environmentally-conscious individuals who understood the value of conservation.

 

What is National Sea Week?
National Sea Week is an annual celebration dedicated to raising awareness about the ocean and its vital role in our ecosystem. From learning about marine life to exploring ways to protect our oceans, National Sea Week brought communities together to honour and protect the seas. This year, at Piney Lakes Childcare Centre, we were excited to get involved in this important event, incorporating sea-related activities into our curriculum.

 

Fun and Educational Activities for Young Learners
To mark National Sea Week, our little explorers engaged in hands-on activities designed to teach them about marine life, ocean conservation, and the importance of protecting our seas. From ocean-themed arts and crafts to interactive story sessions about sea creatures, we aimed to ignite curiosity and inspire a deep love for the ocean in every child.
Additionally, we introduced sensory play experiences like creating ocean-themed sensory bins filled with sand, water, and small sea creature figurines. These activities encouraged imaginative play and allowed children to explore marine environments in a fun and safe way.

 

Environmental Awareness: A Core Value at Piney Lakes
At Piney Lakes Childcare Centre, our commitment to environmental education went beyond just National Sea Week. We took pride in promoting sustainable practices and instilling eco-friendly values in the children we cared for. Our dedicated team of educators provided a nurturing environment where children could explore and learn about nature, whether it was through outdoor activities, gardening, or sustainability-themed projects.

 

Why Choose Piney Lakes Childcare Centre?
When it comes to childcare, parents look for a nurturing, safe, and educational environment. At Piney Lakes Childcare Centre, we offered a family-owned approach to early childhood education that emphasises personalised care and community involvement. We understood that every child was unique, and our educators were dedicated to supporting each child’s growth and development while fostering a love for learning and nature.
As a locally-owned childcare business, we also prioritized building strong relationships with families, ensuring that parents felt confident and comfortable in the care their children received. Whether it was through engaging activities, fostering environmental awareness, or simply offering a warm, welcoming space for children to grow, we were dedicated to creating a positive impact on the lives of every child who walked through our doors.

 

Joining Us in Celebrating National Sea Week
We encouraged all our families and the wider community to get involved in National Sea Week activities. Whether they visited their local beach, participated in cleanup events, or simply talked to their little ones about the importance of the ocean, every effort counted in making a positive change for our planet.

 

As a family-owned childcare business, we were proud to share our passion for the environment and celebrate National Sea Week with our little ones. Together, we hoped to inspire a brighter future for our oceans and the generations that would protect them.

Happy Feet Hygiene!

Piney Lakes Childcare Centre in Winthrop: A Sparkling Week of Hygiene Fun with Happy Feet Dance!
At Piney Lakes Childcare Centre, we are always excited to provide fun, educational experiences that help children learn important life skills. This week, our Happy Feet Dance incursion focused on an essential topic that’s part of our everyday routine—Hygiene! 🧼✨

 

This Week’s Happy Feet Lesson: The Hygiene Class!
This week’s Happy Feet Dance session was all about keeping clean and staying healthy. The children dove into the topic of hygiene with enthusiasm, learning about the importance of keeping their bodies fresh, clean, and healthy in a super fun and interactive way.

 

The lesson kicked off with a catchy tune that made brushing teeth fun and memorable:
🎶 Brush your teeth in the morning, brush your teeth at night,
Brush round and round, brush up and down, make sure you do it right!
 🎶
The children sang along as they learned the best way to brush their teeth—making the task seem exciting instead of a chore!

 

Meet Piggy the Pig 🐷
To make the lesson even more fun, we met Piggy the Pig, who needed some help learning how to stay fresh and clean. Piggy, just like our children, was ready to learn the best ways to take care of herself. With the help of Laura and the rest of the Happy Feet crew, Piggy learned how to wash her hands, brush her teeth, and even wash her hair!

The Hygiene Class Highlights:

 

Handwashing: The children learned when and why it’s important to wash our hands, and how to do it properly to keep germs away. The Happy Feet team emphasized the importance of hand hygiene, especially before eating and after using the bathroom. 🖐
Brushing Teeth: We practiced brushing our teeth in the right way, ensuring we brush round and round and up and down to keep our smiles bright and healthy. The children loved singing along to the brushing song while perfecting their technique. 😁
Washing Hair: We also talked about the importance of washing our hair to keep it fresh and healthy. The kids learned that clean hair is just as important as clean hands and teeth! 🚿

 

By the end of the class, Piggy the Pig was sparkling clean, and the children felt empowered, knowing exactly how to take care of their own hygiene each day. 🌟

 

Why Hygiene Education is Important
Teaching children about hygiene at an early age sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. With Happy Feet Dance’s fun, engaging program, our little learners are not only developing physical skills through dance, but they are also gaining essential knowledge about personal care and health.

A Day Filled with Fluffy Pancakes and Big Smiles

Today, our little learners had an absolute blast flipping, stacking, and (of course) eating pancakes in honour of National Pancake Day. From the very first pancake that hit the griddle to the last bite, the excitement was contagious. The children have the chance to get involved by mixing the ingredients, pouring the batter, and even got to pour on their own maple syrup.

We love celebrating fun, creative days like this because it allows the children to explore their senses, work together in groups, and, most importantly, have loads of fun while learning. Pancakes may seem simple, but they can teach kids so much: from measuring ingredients to practising motor skills with stirring, flipping, and serving. It’s always amazing to see how much they enjoy being a part of these hands-on activities.

 

 

Why We Love Celebrating Fun Days for Kids

At Piney Lakes, we understand that it’s the little moments that make a big impact. By celebrating national days like Pancake Day, we give children the chance to engage in something beyond their everyday routine. They get to learn, laugh, and grow in an environment that fosters creativity, friendship, and a sense of community.

Our goal is to provide a space where kids feel excited to come each day, knowing that there’s always something fun, educational, and memorable on the horizon. Whether it’s arts and crafts, cooking activities, or exploring new themes through games and play, there’s always an opportunity for our little ones to thrive!

 

Join Us for More Fun!

National Pancake Day was just one of the many fun celebrations we love to host at Piney Lakes Childcare. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, our calendar is always packed with exciting activities that bring joy to our little learners.

If you’re looking for a childcare centre in Perth that offers a nurturing, dynamic environment where kids can explore, grow, and make lasting memories, look no further than Piney Lakes! We can’t wait to see what fun we’ll have next!

Stay tuned for more updates and celebrations by following us on social media to see what’s next!
