They also have beds and a room set up for tamariki who arrive to daycare tired.

Which keeps the children safe from running away and getting lost and keeps them safe from the cars in the carpark and road -Aaisha https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118428459 2022-03-29 02:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118428459 We celebrate the achievements of the children at the Centre. We respect all the learners and their family as well as other staff members. And we educate children on how to respect and be kind to our children as well as the benefits of sharing. -Aaisha https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118438469 2022-03-29 02:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118438469 Every morning we greet the children/families on arrival and farewell them on their departure. We are available to the children for cuddles when required but we also encourage the children to interact with other children to hopefully make some new friends. -Aaisha https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118442902 2022-03-29 02:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118442902 The kitchen staff at my centre cook a range of healthy foods with the odd treat for the children and staff. Children are offered morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Apart from lunch time, a range of fruits are provided to the children. Children only get the treats when they have finished their sliced fruits. Water is provided for the children, which they can fill a glass up at anytime. We also have some spare hats and gumboots if, for some reason a child does not bring their own. Sunscreen is also provided by the Centre. -Aaisha https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118450789 2022-03-29 02:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118450789 The teachers at my centre provide the children with morning tea and afternoon tea using fruit and biscuits, and 4 days a week the center provides cooked meals for lunch (Unless it's red level COVID) this is something that helps provide the tamariki with support of their physiological needs Emily https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118505828 2022-03-29 03:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118505828 Safety and security is something that my centre makes sure is clear and visible to all children and parents upon starting at the kindy. There are evacuation signs clearly pointed out and there is an assembling point at the back of the playground by the bark area in case of a fire inside the building. However, the rules of an earthquake are the same, stop drop and cover which the children learn from a young age - Emily https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118508240 2022-03-29 03:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118508240 Love and belonging: We show our children love and caring through providing a warm embracing environment that allows the children to talk about anything they want too. When the children go for nap time they are in a safe place where they can feel that they can go to sleep comfortably knowing that they are cared for and under protection of a teacher Emily https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118511520 2022-03-29 03:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstmack/12dko7j72ag7ppur/wish/2118511520 At my centre we support the children's learning by enabling them to learn on their own first before they ask for support from a teacher. In that way they learn what is the right way and what they shouldn't be doing for their own safety.
