KEIKI BUTLER: A little peek at our month of learning 🌿
What a fun few weeks it’s been at Keiki Butler! As our numbers gently grow, we’re taking things slowly to make sure each child and educator has time to build strong, meaningful relationships. This has meant lots of special one-on-one moments for our founding children.
There’s been plenty of curiosity and creativity across our rooms - from mixing up colourful potions and spotting insects in the garden, to experimenting with light and building with our play bricks. We’ve also been focusing on growing confidence and social skills, and helping children take ownership of their space and choices (they especially loved choosing which fruits to enjoy for afternoon tea! 🍓).
With the sun finally shining, we’ve been spending lots of time outdoors - watering our spring flowers, tending to the garden beds, and enjoying the fresh air together. If you would like to join our Keiki Butler community, please get in touch or book a tour via the link below.

KEIKI GLENDALE: Nature’s classroom is in session🌿
Last month, our Glendale Kindy children welcomed @educatedbynature for a hands-on, outdoor learning experience that the children absolutely loved.
Together, they mixed up fragrant brews using fruits, herbs and water - grinding and stirring with real tools - and worked closely to build cubby houses from bamboo poles and loose fabrics. The children collaborated beautifully, sharing ideas, creating cosy spaces and brewing “potions” for their friends.
They also explored small world play using natural loose parts like pebbles, sticks and pinecones. These open-ended materials invite children to imagine, experiment and problem-solve - all while connecting with the natural world around them.
It was a beautiful day of creativity, discovery and play under the shady trees of our bush school. 🍃
Limited places are currently available in the Keiki Glendale Kindy room, with incursions such as this one included as part of the daily fee. To find out more or book a tour, visit https://keikiearlylearning.com.au/glendale-hamersley/.

KEIKI TRINITY – Junior recruits at the ready! 👮♀️🚓
Last week the toddlers at Trinity watched in awe as a real-life police car, sirens on and lights flashing, pulled up in their carpark for a visit! The friendly constables from Joondalup police station spent time talking to the children about their important role in the community, showing them parts of their uniform and even letting them sit inside the police car.
The toddlers were also gifted their very own police hats and sticker badges, which they wore with pride as they spent the afternoon racing around their yard on the trikes, helping their fellow citizens and making arrests, complete with their own acapella siren sounds. This visit sparked lots of wonderful questions and conversations and was an incredible way to give the children real life experiences to bring into their role playing. 🚨💙

KEIKI EDGEWATER: Our beary special visitors! 🐨💛
This week, the children at Keiki Edgewater were lucky enough to meet some true Aussie icons with a visit from@westozwildlife! Timed perfectly with Save the Koala Month, our children have been busy crafting, exploring small world play, and talking about the important role koalas play in our environment in preparation for meeting a real-life koala.
The excitement was priceless as the children gently patted the koala, learned fun facts about their eucalyptus diet and love of long naps, and we even heard some of our littlest learners proudly say “koala” for the very first time. 🥹✨
Our older children also met some scaly friends, sparking curious questions about habitats, food, and how these animals survive in the wild. They even had the chance to touch and hold them!
Linking to Keiki`s key value of Earth to Sky within our philosophy, this special incursion gave our children a truly magical, hands-on learning experience - while also raising awareness about the threats koalas face, and why protecting our native wildlife matters. 🌿
