A note from the office
Welcome to our May edition of our newsletter. We just wanted to thank all our parents that have been so patient and understanding with us over the past month. This has been a difficult and trying time for all of us, hopefully we are through the worst of it. As we head into this new world of social distancing and online communication and learning we are all working hard to make the best of the situation and we look forward to this new challenge. Thermometer and health checks We are continuing our temperature checks each morning. We will continue this indefinitely to ensure all children and our educators attending the Centre are healthy. Please remember if your child displays any symptoms of running nose, fever, tiredness, dry cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, or diarrhoea, we will take measures for them to be collected. If your child requires pain relief in the 12 hours prior to their intended day of care they are not to attend the Centre. Covid 19 Update We are currently awaiting news scheduled from the Government on Monday May 11th. We will keep families up to date on any new information provided to us. Returning to Care When it’s time to transition back into care please note that you child may feel a little anxious attending the service again, please take your time if needed at drop off and understand the educators will be able to assist you with any concerns you may have. Try and use lots of positive communication with your child about returning to care, “Wow you are going to have so much fun today!”, “How exciting you get to play outside on a playground today!”. Our phone is always on so you may call at anytime to check on how your child is settling. If you are thinking of returning, please ensure you speak with the Centre Directors as there is a priority of access at the moment. If you are not working, it is recommended that you still keep your children home. Mother’s Day We would like to wish all the beautiful Mum’s, Grandma’s, and Carer’s a wonderful Mother’s Day, you all do an amazing job especially under these uncertain times. We have a little Mother’s Day stall situated in the office if you would like to stop buy and purchase anything. All gifts range between $1 to $4 Remote Learning Our educators are working hard on providing you with weekly updates on what is happening in the rooms. Please be patient as they are doing their best to work hard within these trying times. Some activities have been mailed out to Kindergarten children and please understand that Australia post are doing their best and there may be a slight wait on receiving these activities. If you are not receiving any emails from us, please let us know. Cooler Weather Now we are coming into the cooler months, please ensure you pack warm attire including winter jackets, beanies, jumpers and long pants. We will still aim to provide the children with outdoor play, so we need to keep them as snug as a bug 😊. Website Launch Our team has been working hard finalising our new website, we hope to launch this next week. Our website will provide families information in regard to enrolments, up to date news on both services, our philosophy, health links and much more… Biggest Morning Tea On Thursday 28th May both Woodlands and Lonsdale House will be taking part in the biggest morning tea and would love to have you all be apart of this day. The services will be running a teddy bear picnic in the rooms so for those children staying home we would love you to set up your own teddy bear picnic and please email us a photo. The Biggest morning tea raises money for the Cancer Council, if you wish to donate please follow the link: https://www.biggestmorningtea.com.au/donate Reconciliation Week This year both services will acknowledge Reconciliation Week on Wednesday 29th May through to the 3rd of June. In 2020 Reconciliation Australia marks twenty years of shaping Australia’s journey towards a more just, equitable and reconciled nation. This year’s theme is ‘We’re all in this together’. The educators will be in touch to let you know what activities they have planned for the week. Keep safe everyone and stay healthy
