Gundagai Preschool is passionate about working in partnership with families. Our educators understand that family can be a child’s most influential teachers. We endeavour to create an environment that is welcoming where all families are respected, and encourage you to collaborate with educators and the management team.  
 

Educators understand the modern family (as they each have families of their own) and recognise that parents are usually busy negotiating a number of priorities. In considering this they endeavour to use a range of strategies to build and maintain relationships with Families.

 

These strategies include;

•  Enrolment and orientation processes where families are provided information about the curriculum and where they can share information about their child

•  Open door policy where you are welcome to visit. 

• communication strategies such as

        – Informal conversations and chats
        – Formal conversations and meetings
        – Phone conversations
        – Short notes and jottings about your child’s day
        – Newsletters
        – Communication about the program such as goals, journal/day sheets, individual observations
        – Questionnaires and forms sent home throughout the year
        – Information from outside agencies

•  we encourage families to become involved and participate in the everyday curriculum. Share ideas with us, tell us what your child is interested in, share your aspirations and goals. We encourage you to share your expectations and values in relation to your child’s learning and development
