Parent Information Centre
Medowie Gumnut Preschool has a Parent Information Centre located near the entry. The centre holds information folders, relevant to childcare regulations, policies, philosophies and goals, as well as our program. These are available for perusal to all our families. Please read the program and advise staff if you have any comments or contributions.
You will also find a “Sign In/Sign Out” book, folder with child care attendance records, individual note pockets for each child, a Lost Property Box, Suggestion Box, Fee Box, program sheets, and the children’s individual Learning Portfolios (please feel free to have a look at these whenever you get a chance).
A noticeboard on which preschool notices are displayed is situated on the wall, beside the front door. It is important that families check regularly for the latest information. The board may also be used by parents or be used for community notices, advertising, etc.
