Either way, ‘beating the beeper’ is a good game to get pre-schoolers used to getting ready on time, in a fun and rewarding way. How to introduce ‘beating the beeper’ into your routine: Choose a beeper, such as a travel clock, watch or mobile phone alarm, and show it to your little one. Explain that you will be playing a game together in the mornings, to help with gettin ..read more

It’s natural to want to give our children whatever makes them happy, whether that happiness is long or short-term. But by giving in to every little whim we are actually in danger of raising ungrateful and entitled children, who value the wrong things and forget how to show sincere gratitude. It is important for children to learn the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ from a young age and to teach our children moderation, gratitude and non-materialistic values. Tips & tricks for minimising spoiling Even if you can afford it, try not to buy your child gifts, or even small treats, every ..read more

Best kids’ books that were made into films

Many fabulous works of fiction have been adapted for our viewing pleasure. Not all of these have portrayed the story as successfully as their printed counterparts, but when it comes to children’s story adaptations there really are some all-time greats! Some of the most popular adaptations ever made are the children’s classics, including fables, nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Disney’s animated films such as Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty are just a few of those classics that still captivate and entertain audiences after many years. They seem ageless a ..read more

Celebrating the year gone by, and the brand new year to come, should be something that all the family can enjoy together, young and old. It can seem like a challenge to come up with fun New Year’s Eve games for toddlers and preschoolers, as so many of the good ones revolve around the concept of staying awake well past midnight… and this is not practical or even advisable, for most youngsters. So, we need to help our little ones to celebrate in more age-appropriate ways that will make sure they feel included in the festivities, and that come bedtime they are not missing out on all the fun!

There are many specialist sites and blogs featuring some ingenious ideas for you to try with your little learner. Below are just a selection of some of our favourites!

As we all know, it can be a bit of a struggle trying to motivate our little ones to eat a healthy diet that is varied and high in nutritional value. With one in four Australian children being overweight or obese and our health care system struggling to cope with associated illnesses, we need to act now more than ever. Luckily kids are highly motivated by colours, shapes and textures and it just so happens that some of the healthiest simple foods are rich in these properties. Kids also love to be included when it comes to making things, so what could be better than some hands-on colourful and c ..read more

The very early years of learning and education are known to have the most impact on a child’s developing intellectual and emotional skills.

Good experiences in early childcare can literally determine your child’s developing associations with learning, authority and education, and this is why choosing the right early learning centre for you and your little one is so very important. What should we be looking for? Most reput ..read more

As our little learners begin to get school-ready we are undoubtedly helping them to practise all the school-ready skills we can think of! Our pre-schoolers are practising their letters and alphabet, how to spell their names, how to recognise numbers, and even simple sums…but it is easy to forget that young children need to learn financial literacy, too. As with all of the other vital school-ready subjects, the basics of finances and money, can and should, be taught from a very young age. This is not to suggest that you should start sitting your four-year-old at the breakfast table with the Fin ..read more
