Cuddly Bear Heathmont

Cuddly Bear Heathmont An 'exceeding' rated long day care and kindergarten service, in Heathmont Victoria. These benefits last into the school years and beyond.

Our aim is to provide a safe, happy, secure, inclusive and stimulating environment for the children, which encourages a positive experience towards learning. This will be done in a variety of ways, which supports each individual child’s self-esteem, while fostering the joy of learning and children's individual learning goals. Our Service is committed to the safety, wellbeing and support of all chi

ldren and young people. We take a ‘zero’ tolerance approach to child abuse and are committed to raise awareness about the importance of child safety in our environment and the community. Research shows that play-based learning is a powerful way to support children’s development. The evidence also shows that two years are better than one when it comes to early learning. At Cuddly Bear, we understand the importance of early start kinder and provide a program that challenges and supports children's individual learning goals. We understand the importance of providing children the opportunity to reach their full potential through a child-centred, emergent, collaborative, teaching and learning environment inspired by nature and driven by children and families' individual needs, interests and wants. As ambitious leaders in the community, we are proud to be the highest rated service in the Heathmont area!

Our pre preps engaged in a spontaneous discussion surrounding diversity. Their conversations were supported with the book “whoever you are” by Mem Fox. The books speaks of the fact that we might not look the same or speak the same language, but inside, everyone is just like you. The reflections from the children blew us away. Swipe across to see what they said ➡️ we can’t wait to see where this goes!

At Cuddly Bear, we see our children as competent and capable learners. So much so, that they are involved in our pre planning processes. Our pre preps are commencing their research into routes and considerations for visiting our local op shop. Investigating the best routes to take and any obstacles that may be in their way. This is our first step before deep diving into risk assessment creation 🥰 a big well done to Hunna, our pre prep educator, for leading these discussions!

ARGHHH ME HEARTIES! 🦜 🪙 for pirate day today our kinders set off on a quest to find the treasure! Each clue led them a step closer to finding where X marked the spot. Through collaboration and critical thinking, our kinders found their way to the buried treasures. We are so glad no one had to walk the plank!!

Someone's trash, is another one's treasure! ✨ Our pre preps have developed a strong interest in insects and their habitats. Over the past couple of months we have seen a full inquiry blossom and children's ideas come to light. During a brainstorming session, the children discovered an old dolls house that was no longer being used. What was once an old dollhouse soon became a beacon of creativity... The "cuddly bear bug hotel"! I wonder what else the pre preps will discover?

As we start our preparations for bush kinder, we also commence the start of our risk assessments with children! 🍃 ❤️ By involving children in this process, it encourages them to take ownership over safety measures and for them to build a real understanding of the WHY. This is just one of the ways we involve children in the development of our safety culture here at Cuddly Bear 👏
