Parent Information
Welcome to Welly Explorers! If you can’t find the answers you’re looking for below, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
MEALS PROVIDED?
As part of our comprehensive service, we offer nutritious, home-cooked meals prepared by our in-house chef. Our goal is to encourage healthy eating habits in children.
READINESS FOR SCHOOL PROGRAM
Our Readiness for School program, developed by our experienced team in collaboration with local school teachers, focuses not only on literacy and numeracy but also on skills like concentration, group work, and routines. To ease the transition to school, we provide lunchboxes and drink bottles as part of the program.
COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS
We value open communication with our families. Your feedback is important to us, so please feel free to share any suggestions or concerns. We keep in touch through daily conversations during drop-off/pick-up, notes on sign-in sheets, notices on the front door board, newsletters, phone calls, emails, and our Facebook page.
SUBSIDISED ECE SESSIONS?
Yes, we offer 20 subsidised ECE hours.
PROVIDING NAPPIES
We offer an opt-in option to provide nappies for $2 per day. Alternatively, you can provide your child’s nappies, and we’ll ensure they’re topped up daily. If needed, we’ll use Welly Explorers’ nappies at $1 each.
TEACHER TO CHILD RATIOS
At Welly Explorers, we maintain exceptional teacher-to-child ratios. For children under 2, the ratio is 1:4, and for over 2s, it’s 1:8, exceeding the minimum requirements set by Early Childhood Regulations.
QUALIFIED TEACHERS
We recognize the importance of quality early childhood education and ensure that at least 80% of our teaching team is qualified. Continuous professional development is also a priority for all our teachers.
