KiwiKids aims to make communication with parents as open, regular and informative as possible, we recognise that parents are interested in all aspects of the centre.
All children will be appointed a key caregiver who will be responsible for their routine, settling in, individual discovery projects, development updates and parent induction. Young children can often find it challenging to settle into new and unfamiliar environments. This can be distressing for both the parent and child involved. At Kiwikids time and stress are reduced in the settling process by parents following these ideas:
• Visit as often as possible before your child is expected to attend. At these visits get to know your child’s teachers and key caregiver.
• If possible, stay during the first stages of transition until your child is settled into an activity or happy with a teacher or peer.
• Children are welcome to bring any special toys or cuddlies that might help them to settle.
• Parents are encouraged to say good-bye once and then leave, as frequent coming and going is unsettling for children.
Older children have a quiet rest time after lunch, or a sleep, if requested by their parents.
KiwiKids realise not all childrens diets are the same. We cater for each child as an individual by liaising with parents to find the right solution for their child what ever that maybe.
A day book provides two way communication between teachers and parents when it is not possible to discuss matters directly with a teacher.
