Parent Information
Welcome to Buttercups Childcare Centre! We are thrilled to support your child’s growth and development during this exciting time. Here’s what you need to know about our programs and what to expect.
Our Kindy Program
Preparing Your Child for Childcare:
The best way to prepare your child for childcare is to get excited! Your enthusiasm can help them feel happy and eager about this new adventure.
What to expect on Day One
At Buttercups Daycare, our Kindy program for 3-5-year-olds focuses on:
- Literacy and Language: Developing skills such as phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and name identification.
- Numeracy: Engaging in activities like oral counting, number identification, and understanding concepts of ordering and sizing.
- Science and Technology: Exploring these areas through a variety of materials and resources.
Our program includes a diverse range of learning experiences tailored to children’s interests and developmental needs. Children will have plenty of time to explore, experiment, problem-solve, and create using natural materials, creative art supplies, clay, playdough, loose parts, pictures, and books.
Fostering Development: We aim to nurture self-help skills to ensure a successful transition to school. Our educators build secure and meaningful relationships with the children, guiding them in managing their emotions and interactions with others. Social competence is crucial for school readiness and is developed at each child’s own pace.
Our Commitment: At Buttercups Kindy, we strive to provide engaging, meaningful, and stimulating learning experiences that foster the development of the whole child. Our goal is to ensure a successful and positive transition to their next educational journey.
