Family Day Breakfast
We celebrated our Family Day breakfast on Monday morning with 60 very excited children and 60 equally excited mums and dads. The atmosphere in the room was warm and filled with so much energy. We were delighted to welcome all our special visitors into the Pre-school to share breakfast and activities together.
After breakfast, it was special to see everyone relaxing, having fun and spending quality one-on- one time together, either reading a book, building with blocks, squeezing fresh orange juice together, playing in the sandpit, tenpin bowling, quoit throwing, playing tic-tac-toe, drawing self-portraits, winding wool around sticks or designing a special tie/mask to wear. Thank you so much for coming to join us and for engaging in all the activities both indoors and outdoors. We hope you had a wonderful time with your children.
Thank you to all our amazing parent volunteers, who made the event possible – Szilvia Kovacs, Anna Tabachnik, Amy Friedlander and Rachel Cohen who came in on Friday to cook and bake the delicious goodies we got to enjoy on the day.
Thank you to the mums who came at 7.00 am on Monday morning, to help get all the food ready by 8.00 am – you are all legends! – Talia Ezekiel, Ariella Silvera and Romy Stuhler. We also thank Janine Silver for helping to tidy up after the event. Your support is very much valued and appreciated.
Thank you to all the teachers for helping get everything ready and for working collaboratively with the children through the process of tie dying the lovely shopping bags that were sent home on Friday. We hope you enjoyed receiving them as much as the children enjoyed making them for you.
Early Childhood Educators Day
On Wednesday 7 September 2022, we acknowledged and celebrated all our wonderful educators at Kornmehl.
The purpose of Early Childhood Educators Day is to recognise and celebrate the work of early educators working in long day care, community care and Pre-school services, for their enormous contribution to the wellbeing and healthy development of the young children in their care.
Early Childhood Educators Day is a day to acknowledge the valuable work of the early years’ educators in educating and caring for tomorrow’s leaders.
Families at Kornmehl joined us in thanking all our wonderful educators by adding a message to our Appreciation Booklet. 
Each educator received a gorgeous Gerbera flower, a delicious morning tea, and access to the stunning messages received from Kornmehl families, acknowledging their commitment, dedication, and passion to Early Childhood Education. We are feeling extremely grateful to our wonderful Kornmehl community.

Kornmehl is such a beautiful place for our children to grow and develop. This is just a small way to show our appreciation for your amazing, nurturing work every day.

“Thank you for your constant care, joy, warmth, and kindness. I hope you know how much we appreciate you. You have such a beautiful, profound impact at such a formative time in these kiddies’ lives.”The Viterbo Family
“To the wonderful educators and assistants at Kornmehl, thank you for the love and care you provide Michael and Grace every day. Kornmehl is a very special place and I’m appreciative of the nurturing and safe environment you’ve created for them to learn and grow. They have flourished thanks to the rich learning experiences you provide and the love you show them.” Rhiannon
“We are so grateful for our Kornmehl teachers! We love the care and warmth they show, the curiosity they inspire, and the learning and growth they foster. Thanks for creating such a nurturing environment for our little ones.” Daniel and Michal Selikowitz
“Thank you to the BEST teachers – we know that it is because of you our kids are happy and thriving. We don’t have the words to thank you enough but thought the kids may be able to – ‘Thank you for playing with me and doing activity time. Because I love love to play with my teachers, do drawing and go to bush school’.” Gigi Kogan
“I love my teachers because we like to make lots of things together. I love how Heather and Alex helped us to do bags for Father’s Day gifts. I love to hug Renee. They make me feel happy and safe when I’m sometimes feeling a bit sad. I love how we sing songs and eat challah on Shabbat together and we feel like a family. I love to paint with Janice. I really like it how Terry always walks us over to Bush School. I love to play zombies with Emily. I like to help Julie do stuff all the time. I love when Jo brings out iPads for us to play games on them. I like to help Anita bring the lunches out.” Xander Kogan
“We are so appreciative of the gentle encouragement and care that has been shown towards Tahlia. She has blossomed under the flexible but firm environment that she has experienced as a Dolphin this year. I know she feels truly understood and respected as an individual and the impact this has had on her wellbeing, sense of self, desire to try new things (often outside of her comfort zone) and ability to keep learning has been wonderful. We are truly thankful to each and every one of you for the professionalism, care, respect and passion you show as educators. Thank you all.” Paula and Josh Itzkowic
“A huge thank you to all the beautiful educators at Kornmehl. Thank you for caring for and loving our children, getting to know them and catering their learning for them. You are inspiring them to be learners, and this is invaluable.” Hilary Ezekiel
“Thank you for the love and care you put into your work every single day nurturing and teaching Dylan and his friends. Since he started at Kornmehl he has been so incredibly happy every day, skipping into school without so much as a backward glance. He is settled and enjoys learning so much. This is testament to your wealth of experience, kind nature, and warmth as educators. The few experiences I’ve had of visiting school and the interactions we’ve had have been so lovely and joyous. I am so grateful that our son is able to be cared for in such a wonderful environment by such incredible teachers such as yourselves. It is not an easy job wrangling so many young people finding their way learning their limits and how to be and grow in the world. We are so blessed to have you teaching our children. Thank you for your patience, love, passion, and care. Happy Early Childhood Educators Day!” Sophie and Daniel Bloom
“Thank you to the wonderful Kornmehl team. You provide the most wonderfully warm, engaging, and creative environment for our children. We feel nurtured and supported through your genuine care. Thank you from both of our hearts.
“We love the way you make our kids feel special when they walk in the door.
We love the cuddles that you offer them so frequently and unconditionally.
We love that they think that you are their ‘friends’ as well as their educators.
We love that you share what YOU love with the kids – especially the colour pink and your love of nature!
We feel very lucky to be part of such a special environment.” Jonathan and Daniella Gavshon
“Thank you so much for everything that you do for Allec. He comes home and tells us about you daily, with such joy and tenderness that we know how special you all are. We see how much Allec has learned and grown thanks to all of your incredible dedication and work. Your kindness and constant support have helped our son flourish into a confident and loving child, thank you!” Ross and Paola
“Thank you for all that you do! Every day you all create the most amazing space for our children to grow, learn, discover and explore. Thank you for the care you give, the opportunities you present and the life lessons that they will learn. Our children will move on and never quite appreciate how pivotal you all were in their development and understanding of the world around them but lucky for us, as parents – we will remember and always be thankful to you as wonderful educators and mentors.” Michelle and Paul Levitt
“Thank you for your wonderful care of James. We are so grateful for your enthusiasm, creativity and kindness, and for fostering such an amazing community. James is always so happy to go to Pre-school (I think he would go on weekends too if he could!) – this says it all.” James, Michelle, Dave and Lachlan
