09.01.2022 Our beautiful Kindy kids showing the toddlers their sign language version of I am Australian . Such serious faces concentrating!
09.01.2022 A reminder that if there is a forecast of CATASTROPHIC fire danger WITH predicted lightning strike the centre will be closed and no one is permitted on site for that day. Parents are not charged for that day if this occurs. We understand that being closed is a huge inconvenience and the decision to upgrade our policy last year to include this was not at all taken lightly. There is no way possible that we could safely evacuate 53 of your precious children to safety given tha...t there would be thick smoke, extreme heat, and possible road closures. Young children and babies are very susceptible to those conditions and we are not prepared to take that risk. We always have, and will continue to, treat your babies as our own. Should the centre ever be required to shut, we would post on our Facebook page and through our Earlyworks system with as much time as possible for you to make arrangements See more
