These soft areas photographed below are set up throughout the Centre at Dragonfly's Early Learning at Coolum Beach to provide a space for cooperating and nurturing to understand how children's personalities are influenced by their genetic makeup and biological factors. These enabling environments encourage young children to play because they feel relaxed, comfortable, and "at home" in them. A nurturing environment is one that gives children the security and opportunity to dis

At dragonfly's early Learning at Coolum Beach, we recognise that creativity fosters mental growth in children by providing opportunities to try out new ideas and new ways of thinking and problem solving along with self-expression and decision making These boys have created a double seat for the park and are allowing all of their friends to have a turn on their magnificently constructed park seat.

At Dragonfly's Early earning at Coolum Beach, we provide ample opportunity for the children to follow their talents. I just love to watch the earnestness and concentration that these little ones exhibit as they carry out their work!

This term is typically used to describe the scribbles that early years children make on paper with pens, pencils and crayons To learn more about us, at Dragonfl

The Kindy Children at Dragonfly's Early Learning at Coolum Beach have spent time exploring both Maths and Science concepts in recent weeks through making playdough. The children learn so much by just "doing" They get involved in conversations with their peers, exchange ideas, and let their imaginations run riot. It is a comfortable, playful, and relaxed way to learn. To learn more about us, at Dragonfly's Early Learning at Coolum Beach, go to https://www.dragonflys.com.au/co

These little ones at Dragonfly's Early Learning at Coolum Beach are having fun measuring up the ingredients to make their own playdough. Children start learning numeracy skills from the time that they are born. This learning happens from watching and experiencing numeracy in action during everyday play and activities As children get older, they learn more numeracy and maths skills including size and measurement. Making everyday numeracy activities and experiences playful and

Thinking about Christmas? This is such an expensive time of year so maybe think about what you can make to ease the financial burden. I always save the nice jars during the year to use at this time of year. Lime or lemon butter in a nice jar with a ribbon is a very special gift. Limes are actually a bit expensive right now so perhaps use lemons. Lemon butter is just as nice. It runs rings around what you buy in the supermarket. Store in the refrigerator till you are ready to

Spiders!!! I just need to keep these little suckers in here!! The reason that spiders appear to be such a symbol of Haloween is because of their connection with witches. Spiders, along with rats and black cats were believed to be the evil companions of witches in medieval times. Generally, spiders prefer to dwell in dark places so can be very easily linked to the witches about at Haloween What fun they all had!!!

Science plays a huge part in the education of the children at Dragonfly's Early Learning at Coolum Beach. The possums have enjoyed water play as the weather warms up. A sink or float experiment is a great activity to choose when introducing basic science in early learning. The children used recycled materials to create boats with their educators. They tested their boats in their lake to see if they floated or sank. Using their investigation skills they talked about what might

The Educators at Dragonflys Early Learning at Coolum Beach have been focusing on building the gross motor skills of the children and trying challenges on different climbing equipment. The "rock wall" (it's actually timber) has been very popular. Concentration and the use of hand-eye coordination to ascertain where hands and feet need to be placed to ensure safe climbing was the greatest challenge. The children have shown great confidence and self-awareness as they reach the
