Below are Boutique Bubs Education & Kindergarten’s 2025 extra curricula activities for the children and families. This will enrich the weekly program and assist in building a positive Centre culture that will welcome and encourage participation from the community, parents and other family members.
We celebrate Australia Day at the Centre to promote the children’s awareness of the rich Australian culture. Our cook will make and serve authentic Australian food while the children will sing Australian songs, do craft activities and listen to dream time stories during our rest and relaxation times.
Each year we celebrate Chinese New Year – Year of the Rat 2020. This helps the children broaden and explore their social and multi cultural awareness of the world they live in. The children spend the day making culturally related crafts that they can share with their families.
This day of love is a chance for the children to produce beautiful pieces of art for their loved ones. There are different activities throughout the rooms making every gift unique. Children freely express their emotions and are involved in meaningful interactions with peers and educators.
The story of Shrove Tuesday is told to all the children during group times. We encourage the Kindergarten children to become involved learners by having them help our cook prepare pancakes for afternoon tea.
Crazy hair day is a day to let your creativity come out and shine. All educators and children enjoy this day as they all have a chance to look different with the multiple wig choices. We also have a ‘busy parent’ area where, if requested, our team will do your child’s hair for the event. This helps create a smooth drop off and ensures that no child is left out.
This incursion is held annually for all age groups between 9.30-11am. Traditional performers come to our Centre and hold age appropriate workshops. The children will experience the music, song and dance from cultures different to their own. The talented performers present a fusion of music and culture and encourage the children to be fully involved by way of traditional stories, rhythms and the playing of traditional instruments. The learnings about different cultures arising out of the activities are then built into the weekly curriculum.
Children and families bring a packet of biscuits to be donated to the family room at the Ronald McDonald House Monash Chapter. At Boutique Bubs we believe that, being a privately owned service, we should encourage all of our educators, children and their families to support local charities by the use of theme days (including a and gold coin collection), biscuit drives and collecting nappies for families of domestic violence. At the end of each year all educators participate in a toy drive for the Ronald McDonald House - Monash Chapter this helps provide gifts for families staying in the house over the Christmas period. Supporting these charities brings great awareness for giving back to the local community.
A traditional Easter egg hunt is held at the Centre for all children. The Kindergarten group participate in an Easter egg hunt at Thomas St Park at 10.30am. This promotes the children’s self-awareness and independence as they walk to the park and are involved in an egg hunt and picnic lunch with their educators.

Each room is treated to an animal workshop by our external provider - Wild Action Zoo. The children are invited to get up close and personal with the animals. In the past we have worked closely with crocodiles, possums, snakes, bats and Bruce the koala. This experience always creates a buzz of excitement. Wild Action Zoo’s goal is to inspire people to develop an interest and empathy in all things wild by delivering a responsible, sustainable and educational wildlife encounter. Parents are always invited to stay and experience our incursions along with our children.
