Our Community
We truly believe in the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child”.
We work in partnership with families to lay the foundation for your child’s wellbeing and success.
It is important for your child to understand that the adults around them share agreement on routines, social customs and acceptable behaviours. This enhances their sense of integration and belonging as part of the Preschool community.
Portfolios
We share information with you about your child’s development through their portfolio. This captures their learning experiences at Preschool, and contains learning stories, photos of their work and play, value cards and samples of their projects. It provides a visual narrative of how your child is spending their time. Children love to look through their portfolios and see that the learning they have through their play is recognised and valued.
Storypark
StoryPark is an online application that allows us to share your child’s learning stories with you. You can then share these with your nominated family members. We see StoryPark as a two-way vehicle and enjoy receiving messages about your child at home in the form of stories and photos.
StoryPark also allows us to engage with you in private conversations, post community notices, events and reminders.
We invite you to visit us to see our programme in action
