HomeMarch 2017 - Daisy Hill
Welcome to another month.
Firstly, we would like to extend a warm welcome to our new families that have recently joined us. We are so excited to be part of your child's journey creating wonderful memories that will be remembered for years to come.We recognise the traditional owners of this land and aim to create collaborative partnerships with families and communities.
We also have Earth day on the 22nd. On this day we will be reflecting on or sustainable practices within the service and we will be planting new trees and plants to celebrate this day.
ANZAC day is on the 25th of April which is a public Holiday for our centre but we will be holding commemorative activities in the days leading up to the event.
Quality Programming
We aim to offer high quality programs for children, balancing child led experiences and intentional teaching by our educators. We deliver engaging experiences through play with children.
I have been having a few similar conversations with families of late in regards to scaffolding children's learning and ensuring that children are well prepared learners as they move towards prep programs. Trust us, we do.
We are advocates of l earning through play. We are regulated by the Early Years Learning Framework and Kindergarten program and this is reflected in our practices. Play is the foundation for children's well-being and emotional strength. Play allows children the opportunity to showcase their outstanding ability for exploration, imagination, creative ability and development.
Play is fun!
We're Providing Meals :)
We are going to be serving nutritious meals at the centre for your convenience!
Starting on the 3rd of April we will be providing Morning, Lunch and Afternoon tea.
A copy of our new weekly menus are available for your perusal at the front counter (office) and also where the original Morning and afternoon tea menus were displayed.
The fee structure of our service will stay as it is. The families at Daisy Hill ELC will incur no cost as a result of food now being supplied as we do not charge for food.
Any queries please see Rachael.
Asthma
If your child has asthma and requires ongoing treatment at the centre they will require an Asthma Plan. If they are keeping their Ventolin and spacer here at the service, the Ventolin and spacer must be stored in a clear labelled container (e.g. lunch box style). This will minimise the time it takes for us to sort through children's Ventolin and spacers to find the one we need.
Feedback
We love your feedback and we encourage you to share with us! Please feel free to discuss any concerns or ideas you may have. Our door is always open and we look forward to speaking with you soon!
