Big Smiles, Little Steps: Helping Your Child with Their First Dentist Visit
Yesterday I took my 3-year-old to the dentist for the first time.

NAIDOC Week is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—their cultures, their achievements, and their deep connection to Country.

Big Learning in Small Spaces: How to Set Up a Play Nook at Home Without the Fuss (or the Cost)
If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought, “We have so many toys, but nothing’s getting played with properly,” you’re not alone.
The good news? You don’t need a toy catalogue or a perfectly curated playroom to create a space that helps your child learn, focus and grow. With just a little thought (and maybe a tidy-up), you can create a play nook that feels inviting, calming and purposeful — without spending a fortune.
At Aussie Kindies, we believe play is where the best learning happens. It’s how children make sense of the world, solve problems, build relationships and express themselves. And the kind of learning we see every day in our centres? You can encourage that same magic at home — with everyday items and a little help from the experts.
