| We hope that the time you and your family spend with us will be mutually rewarding. If you have any skills or particular interest areas, such as music, cooking or craft abilities, we hope that you can share them with us to enrich our program. We believe that parents are the first and best teachers of children and that more learning takes place when home and Kindergarten share in the experiences. To foster this we encourage parents to come in on rostered days or when it is convenient to share our activities. We would love you to become involved in activities such as story telling, dramatic play, puzzles, games, excursions etc. as well as helping with working bees and fundraisers. |
