From us to you
Welcome families, children are settling down and we are nearly over the hard times and tears are slowing turning into smiles at arrival times. Tomorrow we will celebrate Valentines Day, and children will bring home heart shaped themed craft made with love. We will also speak about feelings of love, being kind and empathetic to others. Our educators will tie up the Valentine's day with introduction to Sweetheart Day and raise an awareness of childhood heart diseases. According to the HeartKids website, eight babies are born in Australia with a heart condition every day and each week four lives are lost due to childhood heart disease. You can learn more about Sweetheart Day by visiting their website. In addition to the craft activities, we will also concentrate on our children's well-being and focus on importance of healthy food and exercise to keep our hearts healthy. This is an opportunity to invite all of you to read your child's room program and support it by adding suggestions and ideas to it. Your contribution is very valuable as your know your child the best.
This month we are also covering Chinese new year topic and children in every room are participating in traditional Chinese activities such as making fans, lanterns, making dumplings and introduction to calligraphy. We would like to wish all of the families who are celebrating year of the dog to have a Happy New Year and the whole year good luck! Xin Nian Kuai Le!
Educational Resources
As our commitment to your child is to provide the best environments to assist their learning, we have recently received hundreds of new toys for our service. Those resources have been carefully selected to reflect our objective for the development of brighter future. Educational tools supplied are all high quality, safe and ecological. Our educators together with children are excited, inspired and motivated with the fundamental learning taking place while exploring and experimenting with amazing these resources.
Security System
We are pleased to announce that our service has been upgraded with Security and Access Control System including 24hr monitoring indoor and outdoor cameras and door codes entry system.
We understand that the child safety is important to ensure peace of mind for all parents. We are ensuring that all our little Pips are learning in the most secure environment. There will be an individual code for each family (one per family)and only authorised people will be able to enter the centre. Please come and see Natasa to hand you, your family security code. We will start using it by the end of this month.
