Communication between family members and our centre is considered crucial for a child to reach their full potential. Therefore, we aim to provide an environment where there is a strong emphasis on family/service communication to allow consistency and continuity between the home and the service environment. By encouraging family members to be involved in the service, we aim to provide a service that best meets the needs of our community.
Our service aims to provide as many outlets as possible for family/service communication. These include:
- Face-to-face communication
- Phone calls, SMS messages and emails
- Ideas/suggestions/feedback jar in the foyer
- Room diaries and communication books
- Regular centre and room newsletters
- Displaying upcoming events and notices in the foyer and rooms
- Regular informal meetings with parents and the opportunity to plan formal meetings if necessary
- Short surveys/feedback forms regarding the service's philosophy and how you feel your children feel about the service
- Family input sections within the documentation of children's learning
