Covid-19 Update

We understand that some families may feel anxious about enrolling their children into Kindergarten and child care. The advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer and the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) is that ECEC services are low-risk environments and they can operate with appropriate health and safety measures in place – unless otherwise instructed by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).  Restrictions on early childhood services were put in place to reduce the number of people moving around the community, not because services are unsafe places for children or staff. As well as having a COVIDSafe plan, we have been following a number of additional health and safety measures, including: temperature screening, hand hygiene, managing unwell children and staff, face coverings and physical distancing of adults, extra cleaning of surfaces, toys and equipment where possible. We appreciate all of our families’ efforts to stay connected with our service and to support their children’s learning, play, curiosity and well-being during this difficult time.
