The Daily Routine
Although the routines of each room and age group will vary, the same aspects are contained in each. We endeavor to provide a home and family environment at the centre where the children feel comfortable and secure at all times and our daily routines reflect this.
Throughout the day the children will experience a number of different activities which are part of the educational and developmental programs operated by all of our staff.
Each room displays the routine for that room and is available for parents to read and questions regarding this can be answered by the appropriate staff members. In place are both summer and winter routines, which adapt to weather conditions.
The Program
All of the staff at our centre will have had training and experience in areas of long day care and early childhood education. Because of the high standard of our staff, we are able to provide developmental and educational programs for each group of children.
The staff develop a daily program, observe the children in their care and plan their programs around the needs and interests of the children in child free time.
Areas of development include:
- The creative child
- The thinking child
- The physical child
- The social child
- The feeling child
- The spiritual and moral child
- The communicating child
- Sense of self child
If your teacher feels there is an area of concern, she/he will inform you and advise where help may be sought, e.g. speech therapist. It is always your decision to follow this up. The staff are willing to discuss any aspect of development with parents.
