Mini Muscles is Awesome!

Mini Muscles; what a great place to explore!  Last Friday we had so much fun climbing, jumping, running and meeting new friends. This was a great opportunity for our children to extend, explore and challenge their gross motor skills. Thank you to Rae for making this possible. We look forward to coming again soon.
   

Birthday Celebrations

 
we can make birthday cakesWe love to share in the celebration of birthdays with the children. Parents can provide a simple cake to share at morning or afternoon tea OR alternatively give Elizabeth plenty of notice, and we can make a very reasonably priced cake for you.  To support healthy eating habits we prefer to keep lollies or treats to a minimium and can support families with healthy food choices as an alternative. As we are a nut free centre all nut products will be sent home unopened. 

Parents are most welcome to join us or leave cameras for us to record the celebrations.
