The Brook Early Education and Care - Girls playing on the lawn

About

Located in leafy Gordon Park, just 15 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, we offer our services to families predominantly living on Brisbane’s northside.

As an early learning centre, our philosophy at The Brook is that each child is unique, and as such, we cater to their individual personalities and optimal potential through our innovative implementation of ‘learning by playing’. By doing so, children are better able to understand the world in which they live through our planned early education programs which activate their capacity to participate, communicate, investigate, create and reflect.

We enjoy the benefits of great relationships and partnerships with local schools, businesses, sporting clubs, Emergency Services, Hospitals and the many local charities we gladly support through hosting events and fundraising.

Today at The Brook, the children in our senior space participated in an educational incursion about developing good dental hygiene. The children continued their learning from dental week and engaged in conversations about healthy habits during the Grange family dental visit. We enjoyed having Onley, a previous Brook Mum perform as a giant tooth and Anna the Dental Hygienist create an interactive show and discussions around how we keep our teeth healthy and the importance of visiting a dentist frequently.

"Our children benefit from engaging with local communities to strengthen their interest and skills in being active contributors to their community" - The Brook Way

Our little adventure to the park with our younger children!

What better way to connect with nature than to experience it outdoors along Kedron Brook Park. Today we went on an excursion with our younger children where we strolled through Kedron Brook Park in the nice beautiful fresh air, listening to the birds and looking at the clouds. The children enjoyed a lovely morning picnic together before playing on the slide, rockers and swings. The children were excited and eager to explore and challenge their gross motor movements whilst also being supported and guided through these movements by their educators.

We look forward to going on many more adventures.

Last week our Early Childhood Teachers participated in the Early Childhood Australia National Conference 2021. This was a great opportunity for our Early Childhood Teachers to engage in professional conversations, connect, share and celebrate achievements, reflect on current practice and hear from Australians and international experts in the sector. Our Early Childhood Teachers have since collaborated and discussed ideas and learnings from this conference to embed in our centre. We look forward to sharing these ideas with our families.

Our Quality Improvement Plan Station.

At The Brook we encourage our families and children to contribute to our quality improvement plan. Each month we pose a question to our families to provide feedback on our strengths in delivering quality education and care, and feedback on future improvements. We then take this information and reflect on as a team and take action. This month’s question is:

Do you feel informed about your child’s day?

Have you shared your thoughts? We value and appreciate our family and children’s voices.

Thank you to all our wonderful father figures who attended the Father's Day celebrations at The Brook. We hope you enjoyed the fun learning environments each room provided for you all to enjoy, from the fishing to the barber shop with shaving cream to the construction area and many more other fun experiences. There was so much joy, happiness and contagious smiles spread around in the afternoon. At The Brook we feel it is important to build relationships with our families and by having these special events we are able to do this. We hope you all had a great time with your little ones.

Teaching gross motor skills isn’t just about the obvious movements such as jumping and running. It is also about helping children find ways to be creative, whilst in control of their movement.

One of the games we are trying as part of the first AEL curriculum building block is called Guinea Pigs and Elephants. In this activity the children take turns to mimic the different movements of these animals (small, on tip-toes vs stomping and swinging of the trunk).

They can also practice teamwork and mimicry of each other by forming groups of different animals and walking around together copying their movements – like a guinea pig version of Simon Says.

All of these activities are designed to encourage a love of movement and the different ways it can be enjoyed, and it also provides the foundation for building block two.
