THREE YEAR OLD PRE-KINDER

The centre provides a pre-kinder 3 year old program.

When:    

This program runs on a Wednesday from 9.15am to 11.45am. (school terms).

The program is a step-up from playgroup, these sessions are to encourage your child to socialise with children the same age and to adjust to taking part in activities in a structured program.

Objectives:   

• Learn through play.  Much theory supports the justification of play as an educational tool.
• An activity program that meets the individual development needs of the children.   In particular, for this age group social and emotional.
• Respect for people around them as well as the environment.
• A challenging, fun environment, which enhances children's existing skills and promotes new ones.

Cost:      

Cost for the program is $65.00 per term or $8.00 per session.  Note: permanent bookings are preferred. Fees are due first week of term. Deposit $20.   Annual Membership Registration fee is payable per child. 

Health:   

A phone call will be appreciated if your child will not be attending pre-kinder.   Please keep your child home if they are not well.  The notice board has a list of infectious diseases and their period of exclusion.  Please ring and ask us if you are not sure.

What you need to bring:

• A piece of fruit, sultanas or cheese

• A sun hat - Legionnaire hat or broad brimmed hat.
• Sunblock will need to be applied by the parent prior to the session
• A jacket in cold weather

Clothes:

As we will be using materials such as paint, clay, fingerpaints, sand, etc., please make sure your child is wearing sensible, washable play clothes.  Even though the children wear smocks, they still manage to get paint on their clothes. SOME OF THE PAINTS WILL STAIN THEIR CLOTHES!

Observe all parking signs as a council officer routinely checks up on this.  Also, please refrain from parking in the driveway.

Arrival and dismissal Procedure:

On arrival and departure it is necessary for each parent or guardian to record the time next to their name.
