ABOUT OUR CRÈCHE Mt Lawley Neighbourhood Learning Centre

Mt Lawley Neighbourhood Learning Centre

Liz

We would just like to thank everyone who helps out in the Centre’s crèche. It is really great to see new (and old) members spending just a couple of hours volunteering to help with the children.

CRÈCHE ROSTERS

The Mount Lawley Neighbourhood Learning Centre has 3 very different types of crèche users:
Course Crèche Users: when our members are attending courses, they are able to have their children looked after by our qualified supervisor, in our beautiful licenced crèche, for the princely sum of $1.50/hr/child.
Occasional Care: when our members need time out for appointments, etc., we are able to offer occasional care for $6.00/hr/child. (See below).
3 Yr Old Play Programme: On Monday and Friday mornings, the crèche offers a structured programme for 3 yr olds, for which we charge $7.50/hr/child.

As of Term 2 2009, the following policy has been adopted in regard to the various crèche users:

  • A compulsory Crèche Levy of $30.00/term will be introduced for each family who use the crèche, (to help with staff costs and crèche consumables), payable on enrolment.
  • “Occasional Care” users and “Course Crèche” users will be required to do one 2 hr “busy bee” session/term in the crèche (day and time at mutual convenience).
  • “Play Programme” mums will still need to do one volunteer crèche roster/term.
 
OCCASIONAL CARE

Tuesday and Thursday (during school term)… 9.30 am - 12.30 pm = $6/child/hour. Please phone ahead for availability or see Lindsay in the office. Priority will be given to bookings made in advance.

 
CHATTER FROM THE CRÈCHE

The children returned to the crèche after a happy and safe Easter holiday.

We started off the term making some wonderful, colourful pictures of Mum for Mother’s Day (with green & yellow hair!). Mother’s day was followed by fun activities about autumn. We looked at coloured leaves of all shapes and sizes and then the children made their very own large autumn tree– come and see it on display in the crèche.

The tree is not the only example of the children’s handiwork. They also made a huge Grandfather clock covered in mice – their interpretation of the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock.

The children had a fun term, filled with colours, shapes, singing and developing their skills and friendships.

The other great news is that last term we welcomed qualified teacher Fiona Lanigan, who has volunteered to be our Emergency Creche person. This will make life so much easier when one of us is off sick. Thank you Fiona.

We all look forward to another upcoming term filled with just as much fun, colour & creativity.

Til next term….Liz & Donna.
