Nursery & Educare

The Nursery Class consists of 2 to 3 year old toddlers. They are "mothered" by class teacher Noleen and class assistant Madga. These little angels enjoy a variety of activities in and out of the classroom on a daily basis.  And of course, one of the most challenging activities is toilet routine.  But don't stress, Noleen and Magda do a marvellous job of assisting these children with abandoning the nappies for the comfort of the toilet.  This class is not just a play group as we stimulate them with various activities but without any pressure.  At the end of every term parents will receive a report from Noleen.  This is not a "pass/fail" report.  It is simply to let you know how your little darling is doing in the class.

After school ends, children can enjoy a variety of extra mural acrivities.  There will also be sleep time from 12:30pm to 2:30pm.
