You and Your Child

Our aim is to work alongside you to enable your child to grow as a strong, independent and confident learner.

At Rockabye all children will be encouraged to:

• Develop a love of learning
• Seek information
• Apply their knowledge
• Be active, independent learners
• Confidently express themselves
• Safely explore their environment

We have two rooms at Rockabye to reflect the distinctive needs and characteristics of babies and toddlers, and preschoolers.

Parent involvement

We believe that relationships form the key to the education that occurs in our centre. We work collaboratively with our parents, and your participation is valued and warmly encouraged. We ask you to share your ideas and any concerns or questions with us. We invite you to participate in the centre through adding to your child’s portfolios and our community board, attending parent evenings. In order to celebrate cultural and social diversity we acknowledge many important dates and events and we love parents to be involved in these celebrations. We use various forms of communication including daily emails, child portfolios, notice boards and parent interviews to keep you regularly informed about your child and the centre’s activities. We have an open door policy, and parents are always free to phone or come and see us.
