KEIKI EDGEWATER - Celebrating our Grandparents 🫶
Throughout the past two weeks we have been celebrating the grandparents across Keiki services in acknowledgement of Grandparent`s Day!
At Keiki Edgewater, children’s grandparents and special people in their lives were invited for a fun afternoon filled with family activities. They took part in experiences such as a tea set sensory tuff tray, play dough incorporating natural materials, card making arts and crafts, and decorating glass jars with colourful collage papers. We also had a wonderful photo booth space set up, allowing grandparents the opportunity to have a photo taken with their grandchildren. During the event, families enjoyed a beautiful afternoon tea consisting of a delicious array of sandwiches, cake and fruit.
Thank you to all our families who joined us for our Grandparent`s Day celebrations, highlighting the significant role that grandparents and older role models play in their children’s lives. ✨

KEIKI BUTLER: First excursion fun! ⚽️🌳
Our Butler Kindy children had a fantastic time on their very first excursion – a soccer adventure just across the road! Before heading out, they practiced their road safety skills by stopping, looking, and listening, and held hands to walk carefully together. At the oval, their excitement was contagious as they ran, kicked soccer balls, took turns, and cheered each other on.
Getting outside the centre is such a wonderful way to explore new spaces, gain fresh perspectives, and grow their understanding of community. This outing helped build gross motor skills, teamwork, social skills, and community awareness. A brilliant first step in exploring the world beyond our classroom! 🏃♂️🤝

KEIKI EDGEWATER: Teddies and teatime 🐻☕
As part of our Children’s Week celebrations, the children at Edgewater enjoyed a special day where they were invited to bring along their favourite teddies and cuddlies from home!
Each room took part in a range of teddy bear–themed activities, including storytime, a “high tea” picnic, and some creative recycled-paper crafts. The children loved gluing and decorating their own bears - chatting and laughing together about how funny or unique each one turned out. 🧸
Our tea party setup encouraged plenty of imaginative play, turn-taking and sharing, helping the children build their social and communication skills as they chatted, made requests and took turns. Experiences like these also nurture fine motor development, creativity and a strong sense of belonging within the group. 💛

KEIKI TRINITY: A celebration of light 🕯
Earlier this week, the children at Trinity got busy shaping beautiful diyas (clay lamps) in honour of Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. Using their fine motor skills, they carefully moulded each one just the right size for a little tea light - and had plenty of fun getting messy along the way! Once the shaping was done, out came the glitter, adding bursts of colour and sparkle to their creations.
As they worked, the children listened to traditional Diwali music and talked about what the celebration means - a time to honour love, light and new beginnings shared with family and friends. By the end of the day, our room was (literally!) glowing with creativity - a beautiful reflection of the Diwali spirit. ✨ It was a wonderful experience linking to Keiki`s key value of Our Community, encouraging children to learn about the cultures that make up the world around them. 🌏

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/.

September was Child Safety Month at Keiki - a time focused on strengthening our commitment to child safety across every corner of our organisation and deepening the understanding of our children, families and team. Taking a holistic approach across all services and the Keiki Hub, some of the highlights included:
🔸Review of our policies and procedures to ensure every aspect of our organisation prioritises child safety above all else, including strict updated guidelines on technology and personal device usage
🔸Child safety, mandatory reporting and safe sleep training for Keiki Crew with Childcare Experts
🔸Age-appropriate discussions and activities for children about body safety, how to identify safe and unsafe feelings, and the networks of people they can talk to
🔸A free protective behaviours workshop as part of National Child Protection Week for Keiki families, hosted by Kayelene from @esafekidskayelenekerr
🔸Purchasing of additional resources to promote understanding about body safety, cyber safety and other protective behaviours topics within all services (we particularly love these Little Big Chats books)
🔸Making updates to our social media style to reduce focus on children’s faces and further protect their privacy online
🔸Discussions about the important role of emergency services, extended by special visits from WA Police and Constable Care incursions.
We`re proud of the steps we`ve taken and remain committed to creating safe, supportive spaces for every child at Keiki 💛
