Happy Hearts. Happy Places
Developing an understanding of community is one of the most important early learnings. So much so that many of the learning principles employed by Australian ELC’s are built on this theme.
Really? It’s that important? YES!
Understanding community helps children feel connected and valued; it helps them form a sense of identity and appreciate others’ perspectives. In effect, it empowers children to grow into compassionate, engaged adults who care for one another and the world around us. And it’s why we’ve curated a range of new activities underneath a new theme we’re calling… “HAPPY HEARTS, HAPPY PLACES”
The new “Happy Hearts, Happy Places” theme will come to life at MoPA through a community craft project (Psst… we need your help building a paper bag community). We’ll also share some of the most amazing literature about belonging, and explore how communities can come to life in dance.
So grab a friend (a member of your community) and pop in for a play at MoPA this Spring! x

HARMONY WERK - STARTS MONDAY!
But what is Harmony Week?
Well... You are UNIQUE. Yeah? YES. FOR SURE.
And you are really SPECIAL... Huh? NO QUESTION!
Well... This is also true for everyone else in our world.
And Harmony Day is a celebration of this very idea!
To help our lil’uns grasp this seemingly simple but hugely important concept, ALL guests that visit MoPA next week are being invited to decorate a unique character - be it a representation of themselves, a friend, nanny or pop, or anyone else that’s part of our gorgeous global community. This is gonna be FUN!!

“Until I became a grandparent I didn’t understand the love, and just the emotion…”
Grandparents are free at MoPA this summer (3 weeks to go!!) and it has hands-down been the most beautiful environment in the Museums all summer long. The most special part of this time is that what we’re seeing most is 3-generations — all creating beautiful memories together. Grandparents are just visiting with the kiddlybites — it’s a full family affair.
Just. Gorgeous. ❤️
