coming up (also shared on other forums). Sometimes texts and calls from
room phones may be used as a form of communication.

We operate an open door policy, where parents and family are welcome into
the centre at any time. Parent participation sends strong positive
messages to your child that you support them and are part of the childcare
environment. The staff sincerely wishes for you and your child to be happy
and feel welcomed at our centre. Be aware that a three way relationship
between parents, caregivers and your child exists in this setting.
Communication is a vital ingredient to the success of this partnership. We
also enjoy a couple of different gatherings or special weeks/events
throughout the year. There may be opportunities for you to join your child
on some excursions if you are available. If you or one of your family
members have a skill which could be shared with our tamariki please let us
know, e.g. read with the children, play some music, make special art,
carpentry etc. If you have any ideas for our curriculum walls or internal
evaluation (often displayed on the walls in the classrooms or reception),
your contribution would be widely valued.

We also have a parent’s library available to parents, this contains books,
brochures and publications of interest to parents. If you have a particular
interest or request, please let us know and we will endeavour to assist in
finding the information that you require in our parent library.

If you have any queries or concerns, please approach team leaders or
Makayla who also has an open door policy.
