From the Office
Welcome to our March Newsletter. We have a very busy time coming up at Underwood, with our 10th Birthday party in April, the Easter parade, Free Parent child Yoga sessions and date night child minding. We are also looking at adding a street library to the centre in the coming months, so keep an eye out for it out the front. it would be nice to be able to share books from home and also to include our neighbours and community. This follows on from our Kindergarten children's planned excursion to the Logan north library.
Centre 10th Birthdays Celebrations
Underwood Early Learning Centre is turning 10 this year, and we are throwing a Disco party to say thank you. The party will be held on Friday night 20th April starting at 6.15 pm until 8 pm. we will be shouting pizza and drinks as well. Keep an eye for the invitation to come home soon.
A look at our Educators
While looking back at our 10 years of being open, we wanted to pay tribute to our dedicated educators here at Underwood. We are very fortunate to have a very low turnover of staff with 3 being here at the centre from the beginning Allison, Jessie and Tracey. We also counted up the years of experience in our centre this added up to 150 years between our educators. I think the experience of the educators shows and i hope our families agree. Well done to them all for the years of dedication to our centre.
Foundation Families
I am looking at setting up a wall dedicated to our foundation families. These are families that have been with us for a number of years. I will be in contact with these very soon to let them know, so keep an eye out for this display.
Easter Operating dates
The centre will be closed on Friday 30th March for Goof Friday and again on Monday 2nd April for Easter Monday, we re open on Tuesday 3rd April. If your child is booked in, on any or all of these public holidays you will still have to pay for the day. I can not swap days to avoid these charges.
Coming Events

Miss Chloe will be hosting a 15 to 20 minute session (depending on the numbers and age groups in attendance) The morning will be a great opportunity for you to learn some yoga moves with your child. Chloe is now a qualified children's yoga instructor, feel free to bring a friend along. Light refreshments and snack will be provided on the morning. Please put your name on the sign up sheet in the office so you don't miss out on this event.
- Date Night child minding - We would like to offer a night where families can book their children in for us to mind while they have some quality time together. Start time would be 7pm til 10pm at a cost of $30 for 1 child, $50 for 2 children, $60 for 3 children. let me know if you would be interested in doing this and what night of the week and date would suit parents? all money raised would go back into the centre to purchase new resources for each room.
