For older age groups, the evaluations are formulated into detailed kindergarten and preschool programmes. This 'whole child' approach helps to ensure full school readiness when the time comes. All of the programmes are, however, also designed to be fun and creative learning experiences as children learn best when at play. Activities such as singing, painting, water play, reading, art and craft and outdoor play are every day occurrences. These experiences are enhanced by our Centres' wide range of modern equipment and resources such as computers which are constantly updated.

Do children take long to settle in?
Every child has his or her own special way of adapting to being placed in care, but most children settle in very quickly with the assistance of our experienced and caring staff. We welcome phone calls from parents to check on their children's progress during the settling in period, or at any other time if there's anything you'd like to discuss.

How many days per week do I have to book?
Bookings can be made for any number of days per week. However, it iss generally recommended that you book at least two days per week to ensure that your child is receiving enough contact with the staff and the other children to establish good relationships, to settle in properly and receive the full benefits of the special developmental programmes we offer.

Do I have to have permanent booked days?
Generally, bookings are for the same days each week as casual or occasional care can only be provided if there is a vacancy in a particular age group on the day you wish to bring your child.

How are fees paid?
Fees are paid weekly or fortnightly in advance normally by direct debit with the first fortnight to be paid on commencement at the Centre.
