Meet Eva — one of our original Little Beans, now a proud Teen Bean! 🌟
Eva is a girl of many talents: she’s learning the violin, a confident Braille reader, developing her cooking skills, mastering tactile puzzles, and always brings plenty of laughter and energy to our Wednesday afternoons together! We have loved watching you grow into the beautiful teenage girl you are Eva. Keep Shining💫

September School Holidays = So Much Fun! 🌈

What an incredible few weeks we’ve had during the September school holidays!

These holidays we were lucky enough to get a visit from Fred from Yeppoon!, Archer from Sydney and welcome our new friend Alistair who is a local. It was lovely to spend time with some new friends. 

Our Little Beans had an absolute blast ~ exploring, laughing, creating, & socialising.
Beach days and picnics to cooking sessions, science experiments, bike riding dancing, strawberry picking, games, and sensory fun, there was never a dull moment! 🎨🏖️🍪

A big thank you to our support staff for bringing so much energy, creativity, and care ~ and to our families for trusting us to provide a safe, supportive, and joy-filled space for your children.

Weekend Shananigans…with a beautiful bunch of little people…big brothers soccer games for Zahli & Louise (while Sarah had the day off, lovely to get to know you Zahli!, I promise I will bring my Bluey books next time!), Bird World Animal farm with James & Guriya (James enjoyed getting up close to a colourful parrot) & Nalissa & Casey, then Sunday at Caloundra Markets with Lyla & Arden.
