Orientation visits
We invite all of our families to come in and visit the centre before your child’s start date, this gives our families an opportunity for some one on one time with their child’s educator to ask any questions you may have and to discuss your child’s routine, orientation visits also allows the child to become more familiar with the environment before they start. The orientation and settling process is an important basis for establishing effective partnerships between our families and our team which is vital in promoting positive outcomes for children. We value our continuous, honest, open and two-way communication that we have with our families which begins during the orientation process.
