When are meal times? We have morning kai at 10.00am once all the children
have arrived. Lunch for the majority of children is at 12.00pm however, if
your child has a morning sleep our teachers are flexible and will be there to
support them after their moe (sleep) and sit with them while they eat.
Afternoon tea is at 3.10pm. Children starting at 7.30am are welcome to
come in and have breakfast and the same applies to children who are here
until 5.30/6.00pm they are also welcome to bring their dinner.
Do you support toilet training? We sure do, when children are beginning to
show an interest in toilet training, we will offer them the opportunity to
use the toilet during nappy changes. We will talk with you about the
strategies you are using at home and try to replicate them as close as
possible. If your child is out of nappies and using underwear, we will remind
them and take them to the toilet as often as we can however we do ask
that you supply a few changes of underwear when first starting.
My child’s sibling is in one of the other rooms, will they get to see each other?
It is so lovely to see the special relationship between siblings. We are
fortunate to have a shared space outside with the children in other rooms.
We can also arrange times for either child to go into other play spaces.
Can I pick my child up early? Yes you can, we have an open door policy. It
is helpful if you can call or text us to make sure your child isn’t sleeping or
out on a walk and so we can prepare their belongings for you. If you have
any questions regarding fees, payments, holidays please check our website
for our welcome booklet or talk to Charlene or Makayla.
Do you take the children on excursions/trips out of the centre? Children may
be taken on small walks out of the centre. Approval for these is to be given
when completing the enrolment form. Ratios for these small excursions is
as follows. Over 2’s 1 adult : 4 children, however if within 500m of the
centre the ratios are 1 adult : 6 children. For excursions further away
permission slips outlining the trip, transport cost and adult : child ratio will
be given to all parents to complete prior to an outing. Children who are
unable to attend the excursion will remain at the centre.
