๐Ÿš‘ Our children had a wonderful opportunity to learn about the important role of paramedics during a special ambulance visit.

They explored the inside of the ambulance, spoke with the paramedic, used a stethoscope to listen to a teddy bear's heartbeat ๐Ÿงธโค๏ธ, and enjoyed dressing up in paramedic uniforms and hats.

It was a fun and engaging hands-on learning experience that sparked curiosity about the people who help keep our community safe.

Protecting every child, every day... together.

At Child Australia, we use a simple shared language for child safety - *See it. Stop it. Say it.*

Drawing on best practice and evidence-based research, we developed our own initiative *See it. Stop it. Say it.* and we're rolling it out across every service we operate.

It's the standard we hold our educators to. And it's how we invite you in.

๐Ÿ‘€ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜. - Our educators are trained to notice the small things, body language, a shift in mood, an interaction that doesn't quite sit right. We use an Adult Behaviour Traffic Light Framework that names what's safe, what's concerning, and what's harmful โ€” including the boundary-blurring behaviours that often go unspoken in our sector.

๐Ÿคš ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐—ถ๐˜. - When something doesn't fit our standard, we interrupt early. Quietly. Firmly. Before it becomes a problem.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐˜. - We have clear escalation pathways to service leaders, to Compliance Leaders, to Senior Leaders, and where required, directly to the Regulatory Authority. Raising a concern in good faith isn't just permitted at Child Australia. It's expected, supported, and protected.

You know your child better than anyone. If something doesn't seem right in your child's mood, in our service, in interactions you observe, it matters to us. Please talk to your Service Leader or email us at [email protected]

We will listen, we will act and we will follow up with you.

This is how we build safety together. ๐Ÿ’™

What can you do with an egg? Ask a child and they will: roll it, open it, put something in it, paint it, hide it, look for it, share it, shake it. The possibilities are endless!

We wish everyone a safe and happy Easter! ๐Ÿฃ

A big thank you to Lion Heart Association for sharing their cultural tradition of the Lion Dance to celebrate Lunar New Year and Larapinta Preschool and Child and Family Centre for joining us. The children were mesmerised by the sights and sounds. A memorable experience for all. โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿงง

Last week our children talked and babbled about โ™ฅ๏ธValentines day themesโ™ฅ๏ธ and some created pieces with warm blushing colours.

Our older children talked about how they show love and who they love:

"I love my mum and dad."
"Say nice words to friends."
"Give them a cuddle."
"I give my mum chocolate."
"I want chocolate too."

Meaningful conversations help build emotional awareness, empathy, and strong social connection. ๐Ÿค—โš˜๏ธ๐Ÿ’

Thank you to Cassie and Kahlia from the Child and Family Centre who came around to teach Arrernte songs to our Larapinta children. It was very much enjoyed.

Learning through song is such a powerful way to build connection, respect and cultural understanding.
