Open communication between parents and staff is strongly encouraged. Teachers are encouraged to learn what is important to you as a parent and to use that information when programming for the group.
We are required under the Child Care and Early Years Act to have a copy of each child's immunization record or a statement of religious or conscientious objection to immunization.
If your child is injured while at the center, staff will administer basic first aid. If medical attention is required, attempts will be made to reach the parents immediately. Staff will call Emergency Services if required. .
Exploration often requires getting messy! All of the materials that we use are washable however, we are aware that some paint colors and other materials are difficult to fully remove.
Children are encouraged to taste a variety of foods, but no child is ever forced to eat foods that they do not wish to. All parts of the meal make up a child's nutritional requirement; therefore, no food will be withheld.
The four-week rotating menu is planned according to the State Nutrition Services Division. All meals are cooked with consideration of maintaining their full nutritional value. The center provides breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and supper for school-age children.
