Since my work hours are super erratic and also working from home for our own business that isn’t profitable yet keeping costs down is really important and it’s so amazing that you and Management understand this for us parents, bless you!
Planning and Programming
Our educators plan and program towards your child’s learning and development. Staff support the children to build on these skills, which in turn enables the children to learn to cooperate with others, express ideas and investigate problem solving skills and solutions. This of course is all learnt through play based interactions and through the child’s interests, abilities and ideas.
Tiny Tots® uses an interactive app called Story Park, this provides parents with the opportunity to log on and access information about your child’s day, as well as enabling parents to communicate directly with our group leaders whenever required. This is a great communication tool allowing for all conversations to flow about your child’s learning and development between parent and the educator.
