Welcome to our latest Newsletter for 2021. There is loads happening this time of year and lots of upcoming centre events also :)
Confirming enrolments for 2022
Thank you to everyone for completing this required task. If you have not already done so can you please contact me immediately as you will unfortunately not have a place currently secured for the year ahead. With all this information I will begin collating the classrooms for 2022 and offer any remaining places to our waitlist for the year ahead. We do have limited vacancies in all age group. If any families are considering to add extra days to your current booking let us know as soon as possible.
Termination of care
Please keep in mind that we require two weeks written notice via our Termination Request form if your child is finishing up. If you are wishing to change your booked days, we require two weeks written notice also. This is to assist with the roster allocations. Under government guidelines for receiving the Childcare Subsidy a child must attend on their last day when notice to cease care has been given by a parent or the subsidy will not be applied. This will result in the parent being liable for full fees for any absences during the notice period.
You will find these forms in the reception or previously e-mail to you. If you placed your last day in your confirmation of enrolment notice to us recently please note * This is not enough for us to end your care and you must complete a Termination form also.
End of Year Meetings
We will be setting dates in the coming weeks where you can schedule a meeting with your child's educators to discuss their journey through 2021.
School Transition Statements
The kindergarten children who will be attending Prep next year will have Transition Statements completed to assist with their transition to Prep in 2022. Once these are completed you will receive the draft via e-mail to then reply and confirm before we send it off to school.
You can expect to see these come through in the next month.
Connecting with our community – This year we will be taking donations of toys/gifts for the Kmart Giving Tree. A box will be set up in the reception where gifts can be dropped off before we take them down to Kmart. We ask that all gifts are new and not second hard. Gifts can be wrapped or unwrapped (just be sure to leave a note stating the age and gender it would be suitable for). The box will stay in reception until Friday 3rd December.
Absent for the day or arriving after 10.00am – If your child will be away for the day or will be coming in to the centre after 10.00am can you please let us know. This would be greatly appreciated to assist with meal preparations and also staffing allocations.
Sun safety –As it's getting warm outdoors we are asking families to follow the correct Slip, Slop, Slap guidelines and not send their children in singlets, tank tops, sleeveless tops or dresses as these are not considered sun safe. If your child does wear a singlet/tank top, sleeveless top/dress can you please pack a tee shirt in their bag to pop over this clothing to provide better sun protection in the outdoor environment. Our outdoor stations are topped up with supplies and sunscreen daily and we ask you to ensure sunscreen is placed on your child at arrival to the service and we will complete this multiple times throughout the days.
