From morning hellos to home-time hugs.
Children thrive on gentle rhythm — the comfort of knowing what comes next, with plenty of room inside the day for surprise and wonder. Sessions run 8:30am to 2:30pm on kindy days during Queensland school terms.

8:30
Arrival & morning hellos
Children arrive, find their name, stash their bag and settle into an activity of their choosing. Warm, unhurried goodbyes set the tone for the day.
-
9:00
Morning gathering
We come together on the mat — songs, news, the weather, and the plan for the day. Every voice is welcome; every child is seen.
-
9:30
Indoor & outdoor play
The big stretch of the morning. Children move freely between the indoor studio and the outdoor classroom — building, creating, digging, pretending.
-
10:30
Morning tea
A shared pause for fruit, crackers and conversation. Children practise pouring, passing and the fine art of describing their breakfast.
-
11:00
Projects & small groups
Focused time with the teacher — the week's project, experiments, storytelling and small-group games that stretch thinking and language.
-
12:00
Lunch together
Lunchboxes open and chatter flows. Eating together is curriculum too: independence, manners, and trying one bite of something new.
-
12:45
Rest & quiet time
Lights soften, breathing slows. Some children sleep, some rest with books and puzzles — everybody recharges for the afternoon.
-
1:30
Afternoon play & stories
A gentler second act: outdoor play, drawing, dramatic play, and always — always — stories. The best part of the day, if you ask the children.
-
2:30
Home time
Hats on, artwork collected, news shared with grown-ups at the gate. See you tomorrow — same time, same mud kitchen.
Reading about it is nice. Visiting is better.
Join our open morning on Saturday 16 May, or book a tour any kindy morning — bring your little person and their best questions.
