You more than likely have a lot of questions regarding choosing an early years service. It’s important to ask them.
If you don’t know what to ask, we would recommend you start here.
- What are the strengths or unique qualities that your service offers?
- What kind of training and qualifications do the educators have?
- Does the environment feel welcoming and safe to you and your child?
- Does the service give your child time and space to learn, grow and develop?
- Does the service provide opportunities for you to be involved in your child’s learning?
- Is there a clear transition program or pathway to the school of your choice?
- Are your family’s values respected by those caring for your child?
- What are the costs, and am I entitled to any subsidy?
- How can I help my child transition into this new environment?
- What does my child need to bring (lunch, hat, nappies, or anything else)?
Our early years services will partner with your family as your child continues to grow as a creative and competent person, and Catholic Education SA offers a range of services to suit your family.
