Communication
My Little Angels runs an all-in-one program that ensures communication between families and educators is a priority. This application will allow families to have direct access to all information such as sunscreen application, bottles, sleep time, toileting, nappy changes, activities, learning journeys, absences and more. This App will ensure that our families are able to have input into our daily program, learning journey’s and access to our educators.
Participation
The Service has an Open Door Policy and actively seeks and encourages families to be involved in the Service. This can range from evaluating and adding input to your child’s program and observations, volunteering within the Service and sharing skills & experiences that the children and the program will benefit from.
Your involvement in our service can be as formal or active as you like as time permits. We respect that time is limited for most families and we ask that you inform us as to your preferred way of communication. We can arrange meetings with your child’s Educator at a time that suits you throughout the year and offer email, SMS, Facebook, Newsletters, Day Book and pride ourselves on strong verbal communication on a daily basis. We seek input from families on all aspects of the Service but in particular, your child’s goals, observations and program.
If, for any reason you question or do not understand any aspect of the Service or your child’s experience we have a Grievance Policy that supports all stakeholders in our community and like all policies, is available for families to consult
and implement at any time. Copies of our policies are available in the office and parent community area. You are welcome to take a copy home and review at your leisure.
FAMILY SKILLS, INTERESTS AND TALENTS
We welcome and encourage the involvement of all parents/families at our Service. Your ideas, experiences and skills are greatly valued and will enable us to extend each child’s interests, abilities and knowledge. There are many ways for your family to be involved. We understand that our busy lives can’t always afford the time, however any contribution no matter how big or small is much appreciated. Here are just a few ideas.
YOUR OCCUPATION OR HOBBY
You are the most important person in their world. We welcome all parents to the Service to talk about their occupation or hobby (e.g. music, craft, cooking). Everything parents do interest children and these talks are the best educational resources you can provide for the Service.
We use information that has come from discussions about occupations and hobbies in our program and the ideas explored which can turn into interest projects providing valuable learning.
YOUR HOME CULTURE
Your home culture is most welcome in our Service. We would greatly appreciate if you were able to share with our Service aspects of your culture and family life. This would assist us to enrich the lives of all our families and children.
READING (ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR GRANDPARENTS)
Children love to be read to. If you or your parents have the time please contact your room Educators to organise a day for reading.
RECYCLABLE ITEMS
We are always on the lookout for recyclable items for the rooms. Empty food containers, ribbons, wrapping paper, towel tubes (not toilet or egg or milk because of hygiene and allergy issues) paper or anything interesting from your work is much appreciated.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Our Service organises special events throughout the year. Keep an eye out, as your child is sure to be a star!
SUGGESTIONS
Parents are welcome to visit or call the Service at any time. If you have any suggestions or ideas on how we best can work together in the Service please let us know.
If you have any concerns, please see your child’s educator or the Nominated Supervisor. We have a grievance procedure if you would like to formally raise any concerns.
Parent Surveys are a great way for you to confidentially provide feedback.
