25.01.2022 While our Preschools are closed over the holiday period we are upgrading some area of our environments. We have been successful in a Quality Learning Environments Grant from Department of Education to help us with these upgrades. Our first improvement is large fridges for our classrooms at Dalaigur, for our children put their food and lunch boxes in. ... Thanks to Kempsey Betta Home Living, for the great service. Stay tuned as more improvements on our Pre-Schools happen over the next few weeks, as we get ready to re-open for 2021!

24.01.2022 What a year 2020 was!! With operational changes, staff changes, management changes, Covid-19 and so much more - all I can say (I have taken this saying from our awesome staff) - we didnt survive but we thrived!! Thank you for all your support throughout 2020! To our amazing families - thank you for trusting us with your most precious children. We have enjoyed and feel privileged to be able to teach and guide your children throughout the year. ... To all our children who are moving on from us to Kindergarten - we will miss you and your families, and wish you all of the success coming your way. To the amazing staff at Dalaigur and Scribbly Gum - you are simply the best - the most compassionate, dedicated and brilliant educators and staff!! A big thank you for all that you do! We all would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing all our families and children at the end of January! Aunty Debbie x

This will be a great opportunity to voice your thoughts on Early Childhood Education.

20.01.2022 A reminder for all families that have children attending Kindergarten at Kempsey West next year - orientation is on next week (see the post below) - make sure you have your enrolment form in, so your child can attend!

20.01.2022 A very special morning we had at Dalaigur today with our own smoking ceremony to cleanse our Pre-School and ask for goodness to be within our environment. The children were so engaged and loved being apart of this with Uncle John!

20.01.2022 A huge big thank you to Durri ACMS for donating a brand new large commercial stove for us! This will be a major assistance to us, as we develop nutrition programs in 2021 and beyond.

A nice way to end the year.

16.01.2022 This week is School Photos - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Dont forget if you want your child to have their photo taken you will need to fill in the form that has been sent home and pay the fee before your child has their photo taken! Thanks everyone!

16.01.2022 Some exciting news!!!!! Since the beginning of term, all of the Educators have been learning how to use a new Communication app called 'SeeSaw'. This app - will allow educators to send photos or messages straight to the families mobile phone. It will also allow families to send messages and photo's back to the classroom.... We think this is going to a be great and fun way to increase the communication between us and families. The app is secure, and only you will see the photo's and messages that will be sent directly to you. We will also be able to send whole Pre-School messages and announcements as well, which will be a great! We will still keep using Facebook as well, to communicate and promote our Pre-Schools to our community, supporters and families. If you have any questions please contact us and we will be happy to walk you through the process. So sometime next week - you will receive a text message on your phone with a link to your child's profile - follow the instructions provided or get in contact with us, if you need a hand. If you do not want to use this app - that is totally fine as well.

14.01.2022 This is amazing - well done to all involved!

12.01.2022 We have been very lucky to have the opportunity to be apart of the PCYC Friends Resilience Program. This program is running twice a week for the rest of the year with some of our 5 year olds and we are hoping that this program and our connection with Kempsey PCYC will continue in the future

09.01.2022 This is beautiful!! We have been connecting with Montessori East Bondi School via zoom for the last few months and it has been amazing! Sharing our stories, songs, art and language with them. Because of Covid they could not come and visit but hopefully next year they will be able to.... They have decided to do some fund raising for us which is so appreciated!

08.01.2022 So nice to be recognised state wide for the work we do at Dalaigur and Scribbly Gum!

07.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC week everyone! This year we are celebrating NAIDOC on the 17th to the 19th of November (in just over a weeks time) with only our children (as we have our school photos this week). With the world we are living and working in with COVID-19, our NAIDOC celebrations have to be just with the children and we will not be able to have any visitors to help use celebrate this year. Fingers crossed next year - we will be able to share and celebrate this significant week with you all.

07.01.2022 As of next Monday the 8th of March - the West Bus run for Dalaigur will be half an hour earlier. The bus will leave Dalaigur at 8.30am and then collect the children from their homes. This means if your child catches the West Bus, they will need to be ready half an hour earlier. This will be a permanent change as we want our children and educators back into the Pre-School as soon as possible to start our days!! Any questions - call the office on 6562 4758.... Thanks!

05.01.2022 Our next Members Meeting will be on Monday the 14th of December at 5.30pm at Dalaigur Pre-School!

04.01.2022 Some great things for the kids to do these holidays!

03.01.2022 It is so great when we get Dad’s to come in and volunteer their time in our Pre-School. Thanks to Terence today, for starting to spruce up our gardens! It is really appreciated!
