What To Expect

We understand that settling your child into a new environment can be challenging for both parents and child, which is why we aim to make it as relaxed and positive as possible. You are required to have a minimum of three setting visits with your child. These visits help your child get used to the environment and teachers while having someone they know and trust with them.You can expect regular communication from our centre staff to ease any doubts that you may have. We welcome you to stay as long as you like, and call us throughout the day if you’d like to check-in on your child – especially during the early transitional stages. Our centre will do everything to help your child feel at ease and comfortable to settle in with us. If you have any concerns, please feel free to approach our Centre Manager for a friendly discussion.

How To Prepare

Saying your first goodbyes are never easy and leaving your child for the first time can be very emotional as you naturally worry about their safety and well-being.

Prepare yourself and your child for this new transition by being excited!  Here are some common tips parent’s do to prepare:

  • Label and name everything.
  • Learn who your child’s primary caregiver will be.
  • Implement a schedule one week prior, to help familiarise your child’s upcoming daily routine.

How To Enrol

Once you are ready to enrol with us at Waterview Early Learning Centre, you can enrol online using our enrolment form, or popping into our centre to pick up a physical copy.

We will need to take a copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport and immunisation records upon enrolment.

We’re here to support you every step of the way, and welcome you to reach out if you have any further questions.
