Provides care and education for all children from ages in a safe environment.
Care is provided by a familiar carer, who familiarises themselves with your baby and with whom your child can relate to and learn to trust while feeling safe and secure in their new environment. The childcare professionals take many opportunities for one-to-one interactions with your child, including during care routines such as nappy changes, toileting, dressing, eating and sleeping/rest times. These times are used to talk with your child and to build positive, trusting relations with them.
There is a lot of comforting physical contact between the child care professionals and your baby, such as being cuddled and being held while having a bottle. Your baby’s distress signals such as crying or becoming frustrated are responded to by the child care professionals in ways that are timely, comforting and appropriate.
You will need to bring bottles made up and labelled, and any special food your baby may require in a bag. A spare set of clothes and summer hat are also needed. We supply nappies, food and sunscreen.
In all our rooms we program for each child individually. We do this by observing each child, noting their actions and abilities, their strengths and what challenges they are ready for. The activities we plan are developmentally appropriate.
Each day we communicate with parents about what has happened in our room. We share the highlights of each day by writing comments for parents to read. Educators will communicate with families about some of the meaningful activities and interactions of the day.
