Once your childs name is enroled, we expect them to be at the programme unless we have been notified by the parent. You must pay for the days that your child is booked in whether or not they attend.

Drop off and collection of your child

Your childs safety is paramount to us! If a person arrives to collect your child whose name is not on your enrolment form, then we are obliged to keep your child in our care until you have been located for consent. To save embarrassment for all concerned, we would appreciate prior notification from you. The programme closes at 5pm sharp and we charge late fees of $1 per minute

Signing your child in and out

Each day when you drop off and collect your child, it is essential that you sign the daily attendance sheet and fill in all requested contact details. The supervisor will show you where this is located, (generally it will be on the table just inside the main door). Please allow enough time in the morning to complete this formality this is very important.

FEES

Fees are our main source of income and they are also tax deductible for you so keep your receipts. To operate efficiently we require that fees be paid in advance of the programme commencing. We accept cash or cheque but do not have eftpos or credit card facilities.

BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT

We use behaviour management techniques that encourage positive self-esteem development. It is our goal to ensure that children and families experience an environment where they are safe, secure, respected and their dignity is protected. This is done through the use of positive reinforcement and a stimulating and varied programme to ensure against boredom. Every effort will be made to help your child settle into the programme. If however a childs behaviour is consistently harmful to other children, parents will be asked to remove their child from the programme.
