Dear Nursery families,
We would like to welcome all our new families at Just Kids Gordonvale, we look forward to working, building strong relationships on our exciting new journey together.
Term 3 reflecting on our goals.
Developmental Milestones, Healthy Eating – introducing solids.
How fast this term as flown!! This term we focused on some of your children’s different Developmental Milestones, watching their physical development grow and develop. Physical development has been our main focus with rolling over, crawling, walking. I’ve had lots of feedback from parents about their child’s interests and how they are developing at home.
We have continued to capture lots of beautiful magical moments, while watching our children grow and learn throughout the term, with each child’s different stages of development, while working together with our parents capturing their memorable moments.
Healthy Eating
Most of children were so keen to try our healthy choice meals with different cooked and uncooked recipes each week which they all seem to really enjoy eating.
We would like to thank you for sharing some of your favourite family recipes with us. We have a special cookbook with lots of quick and healthy recipes we would love to share together with you.
Term 4 we will be focusing on Finger foods which are such a great way to let your child experiment and learn how to self-feed.
