Caring OR Day care

Day care is now open to support working parents..

The key to maximising your child’s experiences within an early learning centre is effective communication. When families and teachers are on the same page with the child’s progress, the child flourishes. Consequently, it helps to ease the transition between home and care, building a sense of confidence and belonging in young children.

What kind of information should I share with the Day care?

The Teachers at the Kids Kastle Pre School are your child’s primary caretakers and influencers when you aren’t around. Therefore, to best understand and cater to the needs of your child, it’s important for them to be aware of:

• Your child’s interests, likes, dislikes

• Their routines- patterns of eating, sleeping, toileting

• Your child’s current wellbeing

• Any major events taking place at home.

By providing this type of information with the teachers, it helps the teacher’s and staff to meet your child’s individual needs. As a result, you can help make most of your child’s time in care.

What information should the staff share with me?

Communication between you and the Pre school must never be one-way. Just as it is important for you to share information about behaviours at home, it is vital for teachers to share what happens in the Pre School. 

The staff would be happy to share with you:

• Your child’s eating, sleeping and toileting habits in-centre

• Their daily experiences – incursions, excursions, art, sporting or music activities

• Your child’s mood and behaviour – if they have been extra grumpy or sad

• Their relationships with other children and educators

• Any health issues, accidents or injuries relating to your child

Fortunately, at Kids Kastle Pre School, we use a wonderful communication with parents at regular basis, where you can stay up-to-date with your child’s progress.
