Long cords can be caught on play equipment and loose buttons and beads can be dangerous. Our outdoor policy recommends that children’s shoes are not worn when playing on the outdoor climbing equipment. If you do not wish this to happen, please speak to the qualified educators in your child’s room.
Children in the Kindy room are taught self-help skills and encouraged to put their own socks, shoes and clothes on. Please dress them in clothes that are easy to put on and off for this reason.
The centre also discourages families from bringing lollies, food or toys to the centre. Lost property boxes are provided in every room or in the hallway in the main centre and in the foyer in the school house.
