It’s how we share information, establish positive relationships and create tailored experiences for each child who attends our Centre. Plus, it’s a great way to track progress and celebrate each child’s individual experiences.
Child Profile
On enrolment, we collect detailed information on family situation, lifestyle, routines, likes and dislikes, special needs, medical history and parent, carer and emergency contacts. Parents and carers are also asked to nominate any hobbies, talents or cultural interests they might have that can be incorporated into our program. The information is used to individually program for each child.
