Under 3s at Fossil Bay

We have 3 different offerings available for babies and mothers (from in the belly, to walking!). All of these take place at the Fossil Bay Yurt.

We also offer Kindergarten for 2 year olds.

 
 

BABY CIRCLE

What it is: Join our welcoming community of mothers and babies! Our group is a place where mothers come together with their little ones, fostering connections with fellow parents, engaging in insightful discussions on various topics, and sharing the ups and downs of motherhood. Guiding our conversations is Karianne, who practised midwifery in the Netherlands.

Who is it for: Mothers and caregivers of babies aged 0-1

When it is: Mondays, 11:45AM - 1.00PM

Facilitator: Karianne

PLAYCIRCLE

What it is:  Following our baby group, we invite you to join our Playcircle – a welcoming community that embraces parents, grandparents, and caregivers with babies and toddlers. During these sessions, the little ones have become more active and delight in baking buns, singing songs, exploring both indoor and outdoor play, and immersing themselves in captivating seasonal puppet stories.

Who is it for: Parents and caregivers of children aged 0-4

When it is: Mondays and Fridays, 9:00AM-11:00AM

Facilitator: Karianne

ThulaMama Singing: NEW

What it is:  Another beautiful way to connect with your baby and other mothers is through singing. Songs from around the world are taught by ear in harmony. No singing experience is needed, just a love of singing to your baby.

Who is it for: Mothers with babies from bump to crawling

When it is: Tuesdays 9:00AM - 10.30AM

Facilitator: Lauren from ThulaMama

KINDY for 2 YEAR OLDS

We’ve created a homely, creative and inspiring learning environment for the two years olds, which will be in a separate space from the older children at the kindy. With high teacher to child ratios, a beautiful, natural, screen-free environment and a focus around nurturing the head, heart and hands – this is a nursery for little ones like no other.

Each day, the children will flow through the natural rhythms based on the Steiner teaching philosophy, engaging in circle time, play, bun baking, story time and nap time.

Key Information:

  • Hours: Monday - Thursday 8.30am - 2.30pm

  • Flat Daily Fee - $84 (price will reduce when the child turns 3 as Ministry funding increases then. If funding to 2 year olds from the Ministry changes, Fossil Bay will review our fee)

  • We are taking enrolments now for 7th of Feb 2024 start
