Positive reinforcement and redirection is used by educators. On-going behavioral issues are discussed with families on a case by case basis.

Illnesses that exclude your child from care include high temperatures and anything considered contagious e.g. conjunctivitis, school sores, hand, foot and mouth disease.

In case of illness we will contact you to ask that you pick your child up as soon as possible to ensure the comfort of your child and to prevent cross contamination. Action in case of injury will depend on the severity of the incident, with families always informed either at the time of the injury occurring (with a request to pick up where appropriate) or at pickup for very minor incidents. The centre and families will complete paperwork as required under the relevant legislation.
