Summer Activities That Both Children And Parents Can Enjoy

Creative Childcare • Jan 16, 2018

Hello Families,

My names Catherine and I’m an educator here at Creative Childcare Kotara.
We love to provide the children here at the centre with wonderful experiences, from arts and crafts to cooking experiences with our cook Meegan and of course teaching them the all-important self-help skills.
With the summer holidays in full swing are you looking for something to do to entertain the children over the break?
Here at Creative Childcare Kotara we have been doing some research into fun experiences for children and their parents too!
These things don’t have to break the bank and can be as simple and easy as getting creative in the kitchen, taking a picnic and some games to the park and enjoy a story under the shade of a tree the list goes on.
Children love to help, and this is something we love to encourage here at Creative Childcare Kotara especially with our older pre-school children! Get the children to help you with your jobs, doing the gardening, shopping and setting the table for dinner!
Don’t forget to keep yourselves safe from the summer sun and Slip, Slop, Slap with your sunscreen and wear a hat. Here at Kotara we are a SunSmart children’s centre and the children are encouraged to learn how to apply their sunscreen with the help from the educators and must wear a hat to play outside. Please check out the link below to get some more information on what being SunSmart means for us and your children at the centre.
Enjoy your summer holidays and have fun!
