Meet Alex: Supporting Learning and Celebrating Milestones at Pinnacle ELC Beacon St
At Pinnacle ELC Beacon St in Melbourne, Victoria, everyday moments offer opportunities for children to learn, explore and grow. For Alex, an educator who has been part of our team for around two years, one of the most rewarding parts of the role is watching children develop throughout the year.
Working in the Kangaroo Room with children aged 3–4, Alex enjoys creating engaging experiences that bring learning, creativity and connection into the children's daily routines.
A Day of Indoor and Outdoor Play
The Kangaroo Room follows a daily rhythm that gives children opportunities to enjoy different play experiences throughout the day.
Mornings are spent exploring indoor activities, while afternoons after lunch offer time for outdoor play. These experiences allow children to follow their interests, interact with their peers and discover new ways to engage with the world around them.
Through play, children can practise communication, develop independence and build relationships with their friends and educators.
Baking Together and Exploring New Experiences
One of the special activities Alex enjoys sharing with the children is preparing birthday treats.
Children can take part in mixing ingredients and observing how they come together. These hands-on experiences invite curiosity and give children opportunities to explore different textures, ingredients and simple steps involved in food preparation.
Rather than simply watching an activity take place, children can participate and enjoy the process together.
Celebrating Birthdays with Children and Families
Birthdays are meaningful occasions in the Kangaroo Room. The children help prepare birthday treats and make birthday cards for their friends, adding a personal touch to each celebration.
In the afternoon, families are invited to join the birthday party, creating an opportunity for children, educators and parents to share these special moments.
These celebrations help make everyday centre life feel connected to the families and relationships that are important to each child.
Watching Children Grow Throughout the Year
For Alex, seeing children grow and develop over the course of the year is one of the most rewarding aspects of being an educator.
From participating in group activities to exploring new experiences and celebrating milestones, each child has their own journey. Being part of that journey allows educators to appreciate the small steps, new interests and growing confidence that emerge along the way.
At Pinnacle ELC Beacon St, we value these everyday moments and the relationships that help make early learning meaningful.
