The Daily Routine
Although the routines of each room and age group will vary, the same aspects are contained in each. We endeavor to provide a home and family environment at the centre where the children feel comfortable and secure at all times and our daily routines reflect this.
Throughout the day the children will experience a number of different activities which are part of the educational and developmental programs operated by all of our staff.
Each room displays the routine for that room and is available for parents to read and questions regarding this can be answered by the appropriate staff members. In place are both summer and winter routines, which adapt to weather conditions.
