OUR MOMENTS
Nexus 1st Birthday 🎂
Our centre came alive with colour and excitement as we celebrated Nexus Early Learning’s 1st Birthday! Families, children and educators spent the day enjoying a range of fun, hands-on activities, delicious food and plenty of cheerful moments. The children danced through lively animal-themed music sessions, joined an energetic Paw Patrol dance and drama, and teamed up for a playful treasure hunt that sparked curiosity and teamwork.
Balloons floated above the crowd, popcorn and fairy floss kept little hands busy and the smell of fresh coffee made the morning feel even warmer. It was a joyful celebration of learning, community and all the wonderful memories created in our very first year.
2025 Malahang Festival 🥳
We had such a wonderful time at the 2025 Malahang Festival! Thank you to everyone who visited our Nexus booth - from getting creative with crafts and playing minigames, picking out tattoos, and sharing plenty of laughs with us. Even the wet weather couldn’t dampen the fun!
We’re grateful for the opportunity to support events that bring value to our community, and we appreciate Banyule Council for creating such a warm and welcoming festival once again. Nexus Early Learning is honoured to support the 2025 Malahang Festival and it’s always a joy for us to give back to the community we’re part of.
Community Heroes Visit 🚔
What an exciting day! Our little learners got up close with police vehicles, tried on uniforms and explored safety in a hands-on, interactive way. Laughter, curiosity and lots of “WOW!” moments filled the day as children discovered the important role of police in our community.
Graduation Class of 2025 🎓
What Our hearts were full as we celebrated a very special milestone with our Class of 2025!
Watching our little graduates grow, learn and shine this year has been an absolute joy. Each achievement and every tiny step forward have made this journey unforgettable. We’re so proud of every child and grateful to the families and educators who make these moments possible. Here’s to new beginnings, exciting adventures and bright futures ahead—you’ll always be part of our Nexus family!
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea – Fundraising with Heart ❤️
We proudly participated in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, raising funds and awareness for the Cancer Council. Our vibrant community of children, families and educators came together with great enthusiasm and generosity to support this meaningful cause.
In the lead-up to the event, children poured their energy into baking sultana cookies, crafting unique artworks, designing bracelets and making handmade decorative tokens. Their creations were proudly displayed in the foyer and fundraising stations, turning our learning environment into a colourful celebration of community and compassion.
Families joined in by donating for the children’s creations or contributing via donation tins and QR codes. Parents and children browsed the display shelves together, selected their favourite handmade items and chatted about the importance of helping others in need. There were also special moments of bonding and pride as children pointed out their own contributions and shared their learning experiences with loved ones.
This event not only raised vital funds to support cancer research and care, but also served as a valuable teaching opportunity for our young learners. Through participation, they learned about empathy, the joy of giving and the strength of community collaboration.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our families for their generous support and involvement. Your presence and kindness made this initiative a wonderful success. Together, we are helping make a difference — one cookie, one bracelet, one smile at a time.
Thank you for standing with us in support of the Cancer Council.
Sustainability Worm Farm 🌱
Our sustainability theme got a little wriggly! Children explored composting hands-on as we built our very own worm farm and discovered how these tiny creatures can make a big impact on reducing food waste.
Using recycled paper for bedding, a cozy layer of soil, and kitchen scraps for their feast, it was a fun, educational activity where children learned that even the smallest helpers can play a huge role in caring for our planet. We’re excited to watch our worms help transform food waste into healthy soil!
Tai Chi Incursion 🧘♂️
Our outdoor space was filled with calm and happy energy under the sunshine as one of our wonderful parents shared a special Tai Chi experience with the children — gentle movements, slow breathing and lots of curious little faces following along.
It was heartwarming to see the children stretch, flow and find their own sense of balance and calm. We love being part of a community where families, children and teachers come together to create something truly special.
A huge thank you to our lovely parents for bringing such warmth and mindfulness to our Nexus community!
Ramadan Stories & Treats 🌙
In our centre, children explore and learn about different cultures as part of their everyday journey.
This Ramadan, they enjoyed a special storytime with Little Ramadan Gifts, shared by one of our students on placement, fostering understanding and connection. In the kitchen, they got creative making delicious Date Energy Balls, a traditional treat enjoyed during this season.
A joyful day of learning, cultural exploration and community spirit!
Northland Activation 🎨
We had so much fun at our first pop-up at Northland Shopping Centre! For a whole week, children enjoyed arts and crafts, face painting and plenty of smiles as they got creative and made magical memories.
Missed it? Don’t worry — more pop-ups are coming soon! Follow us on social media to stay updated and join in the fun!
Adventures in Stories 📚
During Book Week, children didn’t just read books — they stepped into stories, performed them, and created their own!
In Aurora Toddler, little ones became “caterpillar explorers” inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar, using tongs to feed the caterpillar and strengthen fine motor skills while discovering the joy of growth and change.
In Orion Kinder, children enjoyed an immersive storytelling session with teachers from Holstep Community, then designed their own library bags, proudly showcasing their creativity and love for reading.
Kinder children went on an adventure with Where is Galah?, exploring the Australian bush as story characters, hats and backpacks in tow, filling the classroom with laughter and imagination. Many also dressed up as their favourite characters — Elsa, Snow White, and more — bringing fairy tales to life!
Buna Garden Exploration 🪴
On a bright, sunny day, our little learners set off on a nature adventure at the community Buna Garden with their teachers.
Guided by gardeners Alex and Mel, they explored fragrant mint, touched the rough skins of lemons, and even tasted fresh flavours straight from the garden. The highlight was planting their own seedlings to take back to the centre, carefully tending them with tiny shovels and watering cans.
It was a joyful day of discovery, connecting with nature and learning about growth, responsibility and the beauty of life.
