Each day your child attends Preschool they will need:
Please dress your child in comfortable clothes. Remember small buttons can be difficult when your child is toilet training. Clothes should be easily washable.
Children wear aprons during painting and messy activities, but sometimes they do get paint onto their clothes. All paint should wash off in the machine. For OH&S reasons we ask that children do not wear thongs or slip on shoes.
Please ensure all of your child’s clothes and belongings are labelled.
Both services provide milk, juice and water throughout the day. We also provide Afternoon Tea. Both services have Afternoon Tea menus which change weekly. These have been devised with your child’s health and nutrition recommendations in mind.
Due to licensing regulations it is a requirement of the service to ensure children in care for extended periods of time receive 70% of their DRI ( Daily recommended intake ) whilst at care. We request when you pack your child’s lunch box daily you consider your child’s DRI.
Please ensure you pack an adequate amount of food. Should you be concerned about your child’s food or water intake please talk to a staff member.
If your child has specific dietary requirements, please bring these to the attention of the Director during you parent interview.
