Happy Valentine's Day

This week, Coolgardie celebrated Valentine's Day across all three rooms with meaningful and creative experiences. In the Seahorse Room (3–5 years), the children expressed their understanding of love through drawing. As they created their pictures, they responded to the question, “What makes me feel loved?” It was heart-warming to hear their thoughtful answers, with many children sharing that family and friends make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. These conversations encouraged self-reflection and helped the children recognise the important relationships in their lives.

In the Dolphin Room (2–3 years) and Starfish Room (0–2 years), the children celebrated by engaging in love heart arts and crafts. They explored different colours by choosing a heart-shaped stamp, dipping it into paint, and pressing it onto paper to create beautiful heart collages. This hands-on activity supported their creativity, fine motor development, and sensory exploration, while also introducing the concept of love in a fun and age-appropriate way. Throughout the week, the celebrations focused on kindness, connection, and helping every child feel valued and loved within our Coolgardie community.
