Spring Kids Early Learning Centre - Childcare Orientation

Your Child's Journey Begins With Our Childcare Orientation

At Spring Kids We Navigate the First Day Journey Together

"Preparing for childcare first day at Spring Kids, Springvale South " We understand the mix of excitement and nerves that come with your child's first day at Spring Kids. It's a big step for both you and your little one!

To ease the transition, we offer childcare orientation for families prior to your child's start date. During these 1-2 hour sessions, your child gets to explore our environment, interact with educators and peers, and get comfortable with their new surroundings. This time also allows us to learn about your child's preferences, needs, and wants, ensuring a smoother transition for everyone.

The more we know about your child beforehand, the better we can tailor our care to their unique needs. We're here to make this exciting journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible for your family!

Closed-toe shoes to protect their feet, in line with our safety policy.
Sun-smart attire with covered shoulders, promoting safety during outdoor activities.
Utilize our provided open lockers, labelled with your child's name and photo, to store their bag throughout the day.
