Attendance

Hours

The preschool hours are 9.00am until 3.00pm.  Please do not enter the preschool before 9.00am, as the staff have many duties to perform.  Children may be collected between 2.45pm and 3.00pm.  If your child is to be absent, please notify the preschool before 9.00am.

Late Collection

Families who collect their child after 3.00pm will be subject to a late fee.

In emergencies your child will be cared for as outlined in the Late Collection Policy.

Attendance Records

Children must be signed in and out each day.  Attendance Sheets are outside each classroom.  If you have made arrangements for someone else to collect your child, please note this on the attendance sheet and inform your child’s teacher.  No child will be allowed to leave with an unauthorised adult.  This is for your child’s security and for our protection.

Settling In

Starting preschool for the first time or changing from one centre to another can be an unsettling experience for a child.  It is normal that your child may react to starting preschool or be reluctant to come for a while.

Your child’s happiness is our prime concern and our staff will work, with you, to help your child settle into the preschool routine.

Holidays
