Note from Kylie
Hello and welcome to a brand new year full of excitement and new things. Firstly I would like to welcome all of our new families to our centre and look forward to working with you closer. I would also like to welcome back all of our 2017 families and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year break.
As we have a lot of vacancies throughout the centre due to our lovely schoolies moving on to primary school. I would like to put to you that if you would like extra days or know of anyone who is looking for care to recommend our centre.In return, you can receive up to 2 week's free childcare when the new enrolment mentions your name. Please see me for any further information as conditions apply.
Our staff photos and qualifications are displayed on all room doors and in the foyer behind my desk for your perusal at any time.
I would encourage all parents to read the newsletters that will be emailed as it may also contain important information in relation to policy changes, fees, children's curriculum, family participation, and most importantly regulation and legislation changes in the children services industry.
Immunisation
Please ensure that you have provided us with a copy of your child's updated immunisation records.
Contact Details
Please ensure we have current contact numbers and email for us to contact you in regards to your child.
National Quality Standard Parent feedback form
These forms have been sent home prior to this newsletter, please fill out and return to the centre ASAP as this information will be used to improve our service to you. Be sure to check your pocket as these forms will be located in there or if you preferred them emailed please let me know. I will send home a new feed back form every couple of months to ensure our service to you is high quality.
Labelling your child's belongings
We cannot emphasise enough the importance of labelling your child's belongings.As children these days have a lot of similar clothing, shoes, and even back packs.It is hard enough keep the belonging together during the day so as you can imagine the difficulty when the belongings are not labelled.
Fundraising
Throughout the year, we will be holding some fund raisers for the centre. We ask if parents have any ideas or
suggestions, please come and see one of the staff members! We would love some fresh ideas for fund raising!
Family Input into Programming
We love and encourage all members of our families to provide new and interesting ideas to the
Centre's programming. This can take the form of sharing photos and anecdotes of family trips away, birthday
and family celebrations, visits to attractions or general information about a topic your child/ren are
particularly interested in. If you have any books, pictures, skills, etc. you would like to share with
us, please email or send them in or write your name down on the Parent/Carer roster and spend some time
with us.
