Your child won't settle until you do.
Early childhood education is vital for a strong start to formal schooling.
As 90% of a child's brain develops within the first 5 years, childcare establishes the foundation for lifelong learning, health, and behavior. It also improves social-emotional skills like empathy and cooperation, it enhances cognitive abilities, and boosts school readiness.
The right childcare will foster independence, reduce developmental delays, and lay the groundwork for the best start to life.
Importance of Early Education
The first few weeks focuses on comfort and securing a sense of safety as we start to build a bond with your child and slowly introduce them to their new routines.
Parents can support the transition by visiting the centre, establishing similar routines at home, and involving your child in choosing comfort items for their bag.
Settling into Childcare
Your Centre Manager will organise an "All About Me" discussion with you to get to know you and your child so we can understand your care needs.
You'll also receive a New Parent Induction Pack with essential resources and an invitation for Stay and Play, where you get to spend time with your child in their new environment.
Family Orientation Program
What your child will need every day:
a suitable backpack for your child's age and size
a sun safe hat
a change of clothes
a drink bottle
a clean fitted cot sheet and blanket for nap time at the start of each week (so children don't share bedding)
and, if your child needs it, their favourite comfort toy
What to Pack
Separation anxiety is the distress we feel when we’ve been separated from a very secure attachment, which is usually the primary caregiver.
Almost all children and parents will experience some form of separation anxiety when a child joins a new centre.
Acknowledge your child’s emotions, establish a loving goodbye routine, monitor their adjustment, and celebrate their progress in adapting to the new routine.
Separation Anxiety
Your centre will provide:
Nappies

What We Provide
Food is an integral part of the general program.
Meals times involve educating children about food so they can grow to understand the impact diet has on our overall well-being. By exposing children to good food and good eating habits, we establish proper life-long eating practices.

Delivered to our Centres every day, Kids Gourmet prepares fresh, nutritious, homestyle meals for children in childcare centres every day. Their qualified chefs work with childhood nutritionists and dieticians to create menus designed for all age groups, including puree menus for babies as young as 4 months old. The menus are balanced and rotate every 6 weeks so children get to experience variety and diversity.
