Our high staff ratio of at least one adult to every six 3 -4-year-old children (the minimum requirement being one to 8) and one adult to every five 2-year-olds, enable staff to spend quality time with individual children. Our Preschool staff are mature, dedicated, well trained in all aspects of nursery and preschool childcare and education and are very hard-working.
Building firm relationships with parents is important to us, and when your child commences Pre-school their Key Person will make themselves known to you. They will share information with you regarding your child’s progress, on a regular basis.
Each child will be assigned an online Tapestry Learning Journal and Key Persons will regularly add photos and comments to this. Once your child has settled in at pre-school, you will be issued log-in details to enable you to view your child’s journal whenever you wish. This is a great way for you to see some of the activities your child participates in and how they are learning and developing.
In addition, any other development records we may hold for your child, will always be available for you to view, just ask your Key Person.
