TERMS AND CONDITIONS

To enable us to provide and maintain the highest standards of care we require all parents to be aware of, and abide by, the following conditions.

  • Providing a Safe and Nurturing Environment: The primary aim of a kindergarten is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for young children to learn and grow. The school should create an atmosphere where children feel comfortable and supported in exploring their interests and learning at their own pace.

The school should also provide opportunities for children to explore science, music, art, and other areas of interest.
  • Encouraging Independence and Responsibility: Kindergartens aim to help children develop independence and responsibility by encouraging them to take on tasks and solve problems on their own. Teachers should provide guidance and support while also allowing children to learn from their mistakes.
  • Fostering a Love of Learning: Kindergartens aim to foster a love of learning by creating a positive and engaging learning environment. Teachers should encourage curiosity, creativity, and a sense of wonder, and help children to develop a lifelong love of learning.

SECURITY

Security is a top priority in kindergartens to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in their care. The following are some common security measures that kindergartens may implement:

  • Controlled Access: Kindergartens often have controlled access systems in place, such as locked doors, gates, or fences to prevent unauthorized access to the school grounds.

  • Background Checks: Kindergartens may conduct background checks on staff and volunteers to ensure that they are suitable to work with children.
  • Emergency Plans: Kindergartens should have emergency plans in place, such as evacuation plans, fire drills, and lockdown procedures, to ensure the safety of children in case of emergencies.
  • Safety Policies: Kindergartens may have policies in place to ensure the safety of children, such as rules for playground safety, medication administration, and handling of hazardous materials.
