CUBBY NEWS

The children at The Cubby had an exciting month with lots of activities. We made homemade scales out of strings and empty butter containers. The children learned about: too much, not enough, more and less. We have also introduced scales with numbers for the older kids and it has been a great learning experience.

We have turned ‘Milly the Cow’ into its own dairy project. The children milk a cow – picture of a cow, rubber glove filled with water – best activity ever and easy to try at home! They made butter from cream, had milkshakes and we will soon be making our own yoghurt. We also learned about what is happening on farms. Our outside shed was converted into a dress shop and children enjoyed putting on scarves, handbags and different clothes and costumes. After that, our shed became a hospital where the children could be patients or doctors. Our garden is growing nicely and the children got to harvest and eat the first batch of peas. We still have the compost going and our worm farm is thriving.

Our license to operate covers childcare for 15 children per day which gives us the opportunity and the joy to care for our families in a very individual and personal way – you become part of the Cubby family. We are here to support our parents above the regular services of childcare centres. We can help you with your Child Care Subsidy application with Centrelink, connect you to support services or just have an open ear for the days where it all seems a bit much.

We have a few spots left. Give us a call to inquire about vacancies, have a chat and book a time to get to know The Cubby and our staff. The Cubby Occasional Care is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 8:30am – 4:00pm in the orange building on Kerferd Street. The Cubby is a Child Care Subsidy provider, making it an affordable choice for families. Give us a call on 5824 1315 or 0490 117 030 to have a chat with one of our friendly staff.
