About Us

Parental Involvement

Parents are welcome at the Centre at all times. The staff recognise the importance of parent input in order to foster all aspects of their child's development. Suggestions are always welcome.

Newsletters, whiteboards and noticeboards in the Centre are all used as additional ways of communicating with the parents, as well as verbal communication when you pick up or drop off your child. Parent staff interviews are held once a year. These are a great opportunity to discuss your child's development but you are always welcome to make a time to talk to the staff as the need may arise. The Centre also holds family functions such as barbecues and breakfasts throughout the year to which everyone is invited.
