💐 Congratulations to Stacey and Jade who have recently graduated with their Cert III in Early Childhood Education and Care 💐

Stacey has been at Minlaton Family Centre from the day our doors opened to the community. We love her attention to detail in the front office, and creativity when setting up sensory learning experiences for the children.

Jade is a woman of so many talents, working across every space at our centre. We love that Jade pays special attention to children’s individual interests, developing interactive experiences and writing beautiful observations that reflect each child’s learning.

From the team at Yorke Peninsula Learning and Care we offer our congratulations, and thanks to Vicki from ELC Training for her support. Congratulations Stacey and Jade! 👩🏼‍🎓 👩🏼‍🎓

🌟At Yorke Peninsula Learning & Care, your family is our focus 🌟

We believe that every child thrives when they feel safe, supported, and truly known. Our nurturing team is dedicated to building strong relationships with children and families, creating an environment where confidence grows, resilience is developed, and every child is encouraged to achieve their own unique success.

We understand that choosing care for your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make. That's why we are committed to providing meaningful connections, high-quality care, and learning experiences that support not only your child's development, but your family's journey as well.

Together, we celebrate milestones, encourage independence, and create a sense of belonging where children can flourish every day. 💚👩‍👦

Today at Maitland Family Centre, our children took part in practising our evacuation procedures as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping everyone safe.

These important practice sessions help children become familiar with what to do in an emergency in a calm and supportive environment. Our educators guided the children through the process, helping them understand the importance of listening to instructions and following our safety procedures.

We are proud of how our children participated and thank our educators for helping make safety a priority every day!

🏡 More than childcare… we’re here for the whole family 🤗

It was busy at Minlaton Family Centre today! While our little ones enjoyed a day of fun in Child Care and our school-aged crew made the most of Before and After School Care, there was plenty happening to support families of all ages and stages, too.

Here’s a little snapshot of what we had going on today…

🌟 Anna kicked off our Term 4 Circle of Security Parenting workshop series, helping parents build stronger, more secure connections with their little ones.

🌟 Ashlea and Amelia from the Healthy Families Team were here running Occupational Therapy and Speech Clinics.

🌟 Occupational Therapist Emma spent time in our learning spaces, completing observations to help support children’s development and learning.

🌟 We welcomed CaFHS Social Worker Robyn, who shared the supports she can offer to new parents and families.

And that’s just one day! 🥰

At Yorke Peninsula Learning and Care, we’re proud to offer so much more than long day care and OSHC. Our Family Centres provide a listening ear and the chance to connect with support, helping families access the services and resources they need.

And the best bit? You don’t need to have a child enrolled with us to access our family supports! Whether you’re a new parent looking for a little guidance or a family wanting to connect with helpful local services, we’re here to help. Because raising little people really does take a village, and we’re proud to be part of yours.

Minlaton Family Centre offers flexible community spaces for allied health, playgroups and clinical services, including Baby & Me, Circle of Security and speech therapy.

We’ve heard along the bush telegraph that quite a few families didn’t realise Minlaton Family Centre offers OSHC! 🤭

And honestly… how has this little secret been hiding in plain sight?!

Yes, we offer Before & After School Care AND Vacation Care right here through our OSHC program. So if you’ve been wondering who might be able to help with the kids before school, after school during the busy harvest period or during the holidays while you’re working, consider this your official bush telegraph update! 🌾

Ready to give yourself one less thing to juggle? Get in touch with our team to find out more or enrol your child in OSHC.

(And share this with a friend who might not have heard along the bush telegraph too!)
