FRENCH-AUSTRALIAN PRESCHOOL HOLIDAY CARE
April 2015
COORDINATOR
The Coordinator of the holiday program is Melissa Dzunza (working towards Diploma in Early Childhood Education).
STAFF
All efforts are made to employ personnel already familiar with the Preschool and the children. This may include Sana
Nasr (Level 4), Bernadette Wilkinson (studying Level 4), Soosheela Sukhoo (studying Level 4), and Jacqueline Nguyen
(studying Level 4). These team members also work in our Preschool and/or before & after Preschool care program
(Garderie) throughout the year, and will be supplemented where possible with casual staff who have worked with us
before.
PROGRAM
A copy of the program is attached to this Booking Form.
RECEIPTS
The office will issue receipts. For children who do not attend the Preschool your receipt will be mailed to your home
address.
LATE BOOKINGS
It is possible to ring the Preschool during the holidays to book your child into care. However care will only be provided
if there is a place available on that particular day and a late booking fee of $20 will be charged.
SIBLINGS & RETURNING CHILDREN
Holiday Care is also open to siblings of children currently enrolled and children who have previously attended the
Preschool, provided that they are between the ages of 3 and 8. If enrolling a younger child for the first time, please note
all children attending must be toilet-trained.
For siblings and children returning, please ensure that you have completed an Enrolment Form before your child
commences to ensure we have up to date information. When attending holiday care, please place your child’s bag, hat
etc. outside the Garderie class.
FOOD
Please pack a drink, morning tea and lunch for your child. The Preschool will provide afternoon tea. Morning tea (goûter)
boxes are to be placed in their usual spot (eg: if your child is in Classe Rouge, then your child’s morning tea goes in the
Classe Rouge morning tea box). Children not currently enrolled at the Preschool can put their lunch in the Garderie
fridge. Please note our Nutrition and Food Policy, and try to provide a nutritious and balanced selection of foods. Avoid
“sometimes foods” where possible.
NOTE: DUE TO THE RISK OF ALLERGIES, OUR SCHOOL IS A NUT FREE ZONE
(NO NUTS OR NUT PRODUCTS PLEASE)
CLOTHING & BEDDING
Please provide your child with appropriate seasonal clothing (including a complete change of clothes, coat & a hat).
Gum boots may be appropriate if the weather is wet. You will need to provide bedding for rest time. Please bring in the
bedding your child uses in the Preschool program.
