our Daily program
Prior to doors opening families are free to play on the outdoor equipment under parent/carer supervision. We ask families please sign children in at the sign in desk as well as apply sunscreen and a stamp each day.
09:00 Preschool Opens: Children say goodbye to families and enter the preschool. The children find their name badge and choose a cubby hole to hang their bag and place their Preschool hat. Children then place morning tea in the esky and drink bottle in the rack, and lunch in the lunch box tub.
