Happy Birthday to Us!!

Wow, can a whole year have passed already? This week marked our first birthday in our new centre, and what a year it’s been! Our new building has given us moments of joy and despair (we all remember the flooding of the town square in our first heavy rains!) We have welcomed many new families and staff members in the last 12 months and feel we have formed our own special ELC family. We have celebrated Fathers Day, Mothers Day, Christmas and two Grandies Days!! We have cultivated our first crop of winter veggies and tested our garden plants with our energy and activity! We have begun to colour our environment with our art work and investigations and it has been wonderful to continue the ten year long tradition of best practice in Early Years at Princes in our new environment. We would like to share our milestone with the rest of the Princes community in the upcoming Record Magazine and are asking for any special memories or recollections of our first year from parents or children that we could publish. If you have one you would like to share please e-mail me at mbishop@pac.edu.au
Thankyou
