Greystanes Preschool Kindergarten online Parent Communication Program

Clovel families are encouraged to communicate with the centre using KindyHub, our preferred software. It facilitates the easy sharing of progress reports and allows parents and teachers to discuss student development, ideas, and issues in a simple, fuss-free way.

Clovel Greystanes preschool kindergarten proudly offers a child-to-educator ratio that surpasses the NSW government’s preferred number which is as follows:

• 1:4 for under 2yrs
• 1:5 for 2yrs
• 1:10 for 3-5yrs

Here at Clovel childcare in Greystanes, we recognise all too well the problems children can have in later life if exposed to too much unhealthy food at a young age. We have spent time working with respected nutritionists and other experts to create a balanced diet for the children in our care and have a program focused on nutrition and meals to further reinforce these essential concepts and life skills. The responsibility to promote good nutrition for the children in our care is something we take very seriously, and the wide range of healthy foods we provide includes:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Lean meats
• Dairy
• Cereals and grains

Meal and snack times at Greystanes Preschool happen at breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and late afternoon tea. However, if children indicate they are hungry, food is always available to them.

Enrolling children at our incredible daycare in Greystanes is simple but does include some essential steps. It is vital that parents:

• Pay the $50 deposit necessary to secure each child’s position
• Make an appointment to speak directly with the Greystanes childcare centre supervisor. You will be asked to provide any details that the centre should be made aware of (allergies, temperament issues etc) and can state the preferred date for your child to start
• Register for the Child Care Subsidy if eligible

Federal Government Child Care Subsidy funding is available to all eligible families government funding for parents, this is the perfect opportunity to start the process and find out. Many Australian families are eligible for assistance which can go a long way towards covering any Greystanes preschool costs.

At Clovel, we take the business of health and safety incredibly seriously and are never complacent when it comes to protecting the children we are charged with educating and caring for. To this end, we have a rigorous, comprehensive cleaning regimen and frequent inspections and assessments. Nothing potentially dangerous in our daycare centre in Greystanes can be accessed by tiny, curious hands and all hazardous materials are securely locked away from the children. All our Clovel educators are also familiar with required hygiene standards and food safety laws.

A bonus feature of such excellent student-to-teacher ratios at our Greystanes preschool kindergarten is that it enables us to have a much stronger focus not only on educating but also interacting and supervising the children thus giving them the attention they deserve.

Clovel works closely with families and specialists to tailor programs for children with additional learning, developmental, or behavioural needs. We provide targeted support, modifications, and inclusive learning strategies so every child can thrive.

Absolutely. We encourage parent participation through workshops, newsletters, and parent-teacher meetings. Families can contribute to projects, share cultural experiences, and stay updated on developmental milestones and learning goals.
