Community involvement plays a vital role in creating a thriving environment for children. At Cool Bananas, we encourage our children to engage with the broader community throughout the year.
Whether it’s through heart-warming nursing home visits, meaningful pen-pal exchanges, or volunteering with cherished organisations like Ronald McDonald House, our children are given wonderful opportunities to connect with and care for the world around them.
These experiences help them grow into compassionate and aware individuals, enriched by the positive impact they make.
Cool Bananas Early Learning Centre recently received a knock at the door and a flock on the floor, as Cranbrook Care residents arrived with a bunch of baby chickens to spend time with the Centre’s youngsters.
All four Cranbrook Care residential aged care facilities have been home to humidors of chicken eggs over the Easter period, waiting for the day that the shells began to crack and they could carry the young hatchlings in for a wholesome intergenerational bonding experience.
Cranbrook Care’s Bella Vista Garden residents Ken and Janet had the opportunity to offer the children some advice on how to look after the young birds, which will be taken care of by Cool Bananas children and staff for their eggs to be used in cooking. “The chicks are in good hands here, be gentle and give them lots of love,” said Ken.

Cool Bananas Supported the Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney’s ‘Meals from the Heart’ corporate volunteering program.
A practical way to support families who are going through the toughest times of their lives. This program gives RMH families time to spend with their seriously ill or injured child and enjoy a family dinner prepared and cooked by Cool Bananas Staff.
Our Preschoolers have engaged in a Pen-Pal program with Rouse Hill Public School.
The Pen-Pal program invoked curiosity around the concept of mail which led to further research and greater learning for all involved.
