Welcome to our March Newsletter.
In these uneasy times, the educators and myself would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to all of our wonderful families and wish everyone to stay safe and healthy.
As with previous emails sent out, we are closely following the Australian Government's and Queensland Health's recommendations to minimise the impact of this virus on our community here at Cleveland Early Learning.
We have been thankful for all the Parent's support in following our hygiene measures and sanitising on entry and exit of the centre each day.
All our extracurricular activities such as Happy Feet, Grasshoppers Soccer, Yoga and Library visits are currently suspended until further notice, and the planned incursion of Ocean Life has been postponed.
Our Kindy group may start escorted journeys to our local parks to look at wildlife and fauna as part of their program. This will be at their Parent's discretion and permission slips will be sent home.
Our Easter parade on Thursday, April 7th will still go ahead, except that we ask the Parents DO NOT attend this year. We will ensure that plenty of photos will be taken and shared with all our families. This is to minimise group gatherings.
The recent Dental Visit was successful as it was a positive dental experience for most of the children who participated. Each child received a small gift pack and dental report following the visit.
Spotlight on our Chef Minda!!
This month we are highlighting our fantastic chef Minda. Minda has been educating young children both in the rooms and in the kitchen for many years. She works for us 5 days per week, designing and implementing the weekly menu for our children. She works closely with Nutrition Australia and includes recipes and ideas using their guidelines as a reference. Minda has been incorporating healthy and delicious slices into the menu. You may see some at the front desk in the afternoons, so please have a taste!
Below is the recipe for the Apricot and Muselsi slice we are having next week.
