THE YEAR IN REVIEW

We hope you all had a wonderful Xmas.
Throughout the year we have achieved some very important things.
2 Staff members attended 4 seminars in Albury in Quality Improvement and Assessment and Rating, while all three attended a First Aid Course directed specifically to children. This was presented by specialist nurses involved in the field.
All staff attended a full First Aid Course in Wagga Wagga so that they are aware of the latest methods and practices.
Robyne completed her Certificate III in Childcare, while Ebony completed her Diploma in Child Care Studies. We were lucky to have Abbey Anderson with us on a casual basis, who has also completed her Early Learning Teaching degree. We wish Abbey all the best in her school placement. We had a few Work Experience personnel. Congratulations to Chelsea and Paige who also achieved their Certificate III in Child Care, and thanks to Breannah and Lacey who helped on the very busy days. Lacey started with work experience, but enjoyed it so much she helped out in other areas as well. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead with new and exciting ideas.

Holidays again!!!! Hope all the school children on holidays and their teachers and assistances have a wonderful, safe time. As usual we are not on holidays at this time, our holiday doesn't come until Xmas, so if you need us, we are open.
A few congratulations to be made. To Carlie, Brad, Scarlet, Jaxon, Baxter and Poppy, a new baby brother. Welcome Dusty. Also a special mention to Robyne Smith and
Ebony Chandler. Robyne has completed her Certificate III in Children's Services and Ebony has completed her Diploma. A lot of hard work was put in by both, and both received very high accolades from the training body ECTARC. Staff are attending seminars throughout the year to maintain a high level awareness of the latest trends, procedures and Regulations. We are into our final stage of 'School Readiness', and encourage anyone with a child starting Kindy next year to consider enrolling. We can be contacted on 0269204221 at any time. Cheers to all. Sue

With the end of second term, comes the important time for children starting school next year, being our preschool program. Our 'School Readiness' program has been a great success for several years with a consolidated program to ensure children are well prepared for their next big step in life. While all children 'learn through play' there is more that they need to be ready for school. Enrolments are now being taken, and remember, we don't close for school holidays. We hope to have a successful intake to maximise the environment for all children.

Hi everyone ! It's been a while. Welcome to all our new babies that have been born over the past few months, and to our new friends who have enrolled recently.
Hopefully we have gone over the "hump" and days will now start to get longer so we can get out and enjoy our new turf. With school holidays approaching fast, we are hosting an exciting venture for the first week of the holidays.
Simone will be running craft groups in the residence beside our Centre for 6 to 12 year olds. She has taken the initiative to provide this age group with something to do during this week.
For more details see Simone on Facebook and book early as there are limited places.
This activity is in no way connected or involved with the Centre, but we are happy to offer Simone the venue.
If you are going to the snow, remember you can get very sun burnt from the reflection off the snow. Remember your sunscreen.
Until next time, enjoy, stay safe and be happy.

Terry, myself and all the staff would like to wish you a safe and enjoyable Easter break. A big thank you to Nick Mathews and to Mark Chandler (who came up from Albury) for laying the new turf in the back yard of the Centre. What a difference it has made. We look forward to being able to play on it in a few weeks when it has settled. Enjoy.

Here we are with summer gone and now into Autumn. Summer heat took a toll on our lawn for the children, with the excessive heat. Not to be deterred, we have resurrected the side yard for the children to play on, while we lay new turf in the back yard. This will arrive on Wednesday, ready to start laying on Thursday. Soft Fall area, Sand Pit and activity areas will still be available to children with no restrictions needed to be placed on the children's activities. If anyone would like to help with the laying of the turf on Thursday 11/4/2019, it would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to welcome our new families, and the new children of existing families that have joined us this year. We have commenced our Pre-School program and will get into full swing after easter. Children will be making Easter Bonnets and preparing Easter Craft during the next two weeks and would like to invite Parents, Relatives and Friends to see their creations on Thursday 18 April at 2.30p.m. A Bar-B-Que will be provided after the Bonnet Parade. ( Numbers are required). In the event we don't see you on the day, we would like to wish you a safe and joyous school holiday and Easter break.

Here we are almost to the end of the Xmas holidays. I hope you all had a happy and enjoyable time celebrating with family and friends. We will be back in full swing from Tuesday 29 January 2019 as Monday is a public holiday.
However, by popular demand, we will be open on Monday 21 January, Tuesday 22 January and Thursday 24 January to meet the needs of our clients. Remember, to continue to meet these needs, as the ONLY Long Day Care Centre, we need your support. We care for children from 6 weeks of age to 6 years ( Providing an extensive Pre-School Program for 4 and 5 year olds ) and Vacational and OOSH care for school children up to 12 years of age, providing structured age appropriate groups. We look forward to seeing you in 2019
