Ruth Landau Harp Early Learning

This week our Kindy 4 children experienced their very first Busy Kindy excursion for 2026 with a wonderful adventure to Coolbinia Bushland 🌿

We walked together, shared our predictions about what we might discover and challenged ourselves on the obstacle course before beginning our bush walk. The children observed leaves, bark, birds and insects closely, showing great curiosity and confidence.

Back at the centre, we continued the learning with our “Rubbery Tree” drawing experience, revealing the beautiful textures of bark using crayons.

A joyful milestone filled with exploration, movement and connection with nature ✨

Last year, our Kindy 4 children engaged in an enquiry project that sparked curiosity, deep thinking and joyful discovery. Guided by their own questions and interests, the children explored ideas, tested theories and reflected on their learning through meaningful hands-on experiences.

This project was proudly submitted as part of our Little Scientists application for re-certification and we are delighted to share the interview clip showcasing this learning journey.

Did you know that this is the third time Ruth Landau Harp Early Learning has been recognised as a Little Scientists House? This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to inquiry-based learning, critical thinking and empowering children to become confident researchers of their world.

We are incredibly proud of our Kindy 4 children and our passionate educators who bring science, creativity and wonder to life every day.

🌟 We are proud to celebrate our Kindy 4 team for their excellent inquiry project submitted as part of our re-certification as a Little Scientists House.

Did you know that our educators participate in numerous STEM professional development workshops with Little Scientists as part of the certification process? Their dedication ensures that STEM learning is integrated throughout our entire service, evident in all learning spaces.
