When will my child move rooms?

Your child’s readiness for such a move will be discussed with you and your child will transition gradually into their new room. Each child’s transition phase is different and we are guided by the child as to the time required for them to gain a sense of belonging in their new room.

Will I be able to visit my child during the day at any time?

Yes, we have an open door policy and families are welcome to visit at any time.  We do also have special events planned throughout the year where families are invited to participate. Ie Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Grandparents Day, Occupations week.
