Programs

Our programs are aimed at meeting the needs of individual children and the group while focusing on fun. We organise enjoyable activities that foster the development of physical, language, cognitive, social and emotional skills.

We evaluate our programs regularly to make sure we are always improving and meeting the needs of children and their families.

Quality

All our care services are part of the Quality Improvement and Accreditation System (QIAS). We constantly aim for the highest rating level possible.

Staff

All staff are chosen by an interview panel who seek qualified and/or experienced persons dedicated to providing quality care. Our staffing levels are above the licensing requirements.

All staff are trained in first aid and many have training in Early Childhood, with degrees or diplomas in their field. There is more information available on working in childcare.
