November Newsletter - from the office

Welcome to November wow the year has flown by

For those of you who don't know me My name is Allana. I have recently returned to Doolandella ELC after 6months of maternity leave. I will be working along side Leanne in the office. If you have any questions or concerns be do not hesitate to come and see me.

In the lead up to Christmas we will be busy here at the center with our upcoming events and getting our rooms organized for 2018. These will be announced to families once we have it all finalized. These changes will not occur until January 22nd 2018.

For Health and Safely reasons we request that the lunches you provide your child are placed directly in the room fridge on arrival in the mornings. Lunches should be in a named small plastic container or zip lock bag. We do not have room for large lunch boxes in our room fridges. Miss Kylie our cook has been preparing some amazing morning and afternoon teas, which the children have been enjoying. Please do not send morning tea and afternoon tea for your child. You can view our weekly menu on the notice board out side of the center kitchen. 

Please ensure you are checking your statements each Monday when they are sent. By doing this it means we can work with you to ensure you are getting charged the correct amounts and you are aware of the direct debits booked in for your account.

Please read the Child Care Subsidy information attached below in regards to changes that will be occurring to Child Care Rebate and Benefits as of July 2018. more information can be found at https://www.education.gov.au/ChildCarePackage
