Health & Hygiene
We take the health of children in our care seriously; infections in young children are common as they are still building up their immunity. We have a strict cleaning, infection controls, and exclusion procedures in place to combat this issues.
Medication
If your child requires medication, parents or authorised nominees must complete a medication form and submit this to staff. Do not leave medication in your child’s bag. All medication must be clearly labelled. Showing that medication is prescribed to your child and the dosage required. A letter must accompany non-prescription medicine from your doctor or pharmacist.
Emergency Evacuations
Emergency evacuations are practiced at our centre every quarter (3 months). These include fire evacuations, gas leaks and intruder lockdowns. Every child in attendance for that quarter must participate in the drills. Please remember to sign your child in and out each day as these attendance sheets enable us to account for all children on the premises.
Accidents, Incidents & First Aid
Our centre take the safety of children in our care seriously, and while accidents are bound to occur in the early developmental years, we have created learning environments that are safe and well supervised. Each day our staff conduct safety walks, hazard identifications and risk assessments on the centre, combined with other strategies to ensure that your child is safe.
We have educators trained in first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis management on site at all times. Should an accident occur, our staff will document the details and notify families.
Nutrition
Meals provided at our service will provide at least 50% of your child’s recommended daily dietary requirements. We will promote and support families to develop healthy eating habits to children in conjunction with programs such as Munch & Move and Get Up & Grow.
Child Protection
All staff working with children are Mandatory Reporters. This means that by law, if they have observations that may indicate that a child is at “risk of harm” they must report it to the proper authorities.
Family Communication
Communication between families and our centre is an important part of daily life. Good educator-to-Parent communication contributes significantly to the success of your child’s development and our educational program.
