Our centres celebrated Valentine’s Day on Tuesday the 14th of February by creating Valentine’s Day based activities that are designed to provide meaningful learning opportunities, whilst having fun!
This week some of our Milestones Centres in Queensland, provided Valentines based activities for not only their children and families but also their team members.
Milestones Early Learning The Lakes organized card making for the children in their 3 year old Kindergarten and Junior Kindy 1 and 2 rooms.
The children loved making cards as it promotes the development of fine motor and sensory skills, but also is a fun and safe activity for the children to enjoy.
Melissa Laundess, Assistant Centre Manager, at Milestones Early Learning The Lakes said, “We believe making cards for our wonderful parents showed that we appreciate and respect everything they do for their children and families.”
Milestones Early Learning Aspley treated their Educators and Teachers to some Valentines Day Recognition with some lighthearted Valentine’s Day themed appreciation notes and some sweet treats!
Milestones Early Learning Sunshine Beach had a fun filled day! With a range of Valentines Day creative activities as well as some delicious treats for the children!
Sarah Pedvin, Assistant Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Sunshine Beach shared, “Celebrating Valentines Day was all about sharing the love with our children, our families, and our one-of-a-kind team.
“In the busy lives that we all lead, Our families are our Why.
“It is because of our supportive families and the special relationships we have built that make us enjoy coming to work every day.” Said Sarah.
Sarah Pedvin continued “On offer to our families on Valentine’s day were fruit smoothies and a cupcake for their drive. The Children felt the love throughout the entire centre as they engaged in arts and crafts inspired by love, and enjoyed a sweet afternoon treat. Our hard-working team enjoyed a morning tea spread to show how much we value each of them, their dedication, and their efforts that we see on show every single day.
“It takes a village to raise a village. We know the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child but at Sunshine Beach we work with our families to ensure each child is loved and nurtured in their village here and at home.”
Milestones Early Learning Meridan Plains provided their families with the opportunity to thank the Educators leading up to Valentines with a foyer display and thank you cards for families to complete; and as a thank you, the team at Meridan Pains provided their families with a lovely afternoon tea.
