Your child’s day

Pacific Pines | Your child's day | Our Director and educators | Special events | About Kool Kids

Child to educator ratios requires children to begin their day collectively with others in one of the senior rooms or outside. As more children arrive the groups separate into their own rooms to begin their programs and routines.

Throughout the day, digital photographs are taken of your children while they are learning and playing. These images are compiled onto a DVD and played back on the screen in each room during the afternoon pick up time for you to see your child enjoying his or her day. Parents are provided with a selection of these photos in a compilation class disc at the end of each year.

Find out more about activities in your child’s room by selecting one of the following groups;

Library

Pacific Pines will contain a library where parents will be able to hire books. The library will also have a computer room which will house six Apple Mac computers designed to deliver some amazing learning programmes including understanding how to operate a computer. Apple Macs have been chosen as they will largely be what your child will use when they first attend school. This type of room is a first in child care.

Playgrounds

Our grounds will be simply amazing, the outside play area covers over 850 square metres of play area. There is a massive area where children will be able to run and enjoy an open play space. This area will be planted out with full mature trees giving the grounds a real green effect. The playgrounds will have a mini tennis court where our professional coach will come in and coach your child. We will also have a mini soccer field where our professional coach will attend weekly, along with that we will have a golf net where your child can learn all about golf. All our grounds have been carefully planned to ensure that we deliver not only the best place for your child to learn but also to feel at home.

Meals and nutrition

At our centre, we encourage the importance of a healthy balanced diet, especially to aid in the growing and developing for young children. Therefore our centre encourages healthy eating. As a centre that provides all meals during the day, we are obligated to ensure that we are giving the children at least fifty percent (50%) of the daily required intake of each of the five food groups.

Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are all provided at the Centre. This is inclusive in your child’s daily fee. There is a separate ‘Management Plan’ for children with special dietary requirements for the Centre cook and staff information. Weekly menus are displayed in reception and on all room noticeboards. The centre has enforced a “NO NUT POLICY”.
