COMMUNICATION

Home / COMMUNICATION

HOW WILL WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU?

We sincerely understand the African proverb “It takes a whole village to raise a
child”. This beautiful saying means it takes all the people involved in the life of a child
to give their best in doing their part in the raising of a child.
Partnerships with families permit for educators and parents to work and
communicate collaboratively to give your child the best possible outcome for
development. Therefore, at Erina Kindergarten we will communicate with you daily
about your child and understand attitudes and expectations for your child’s
development.

NEWSLETTERS

Communication and Newsletters

Each team member will talk to you about your child’s learning throughout the day, so
you know how your child is developing on a daily basis.

You will receive your child’s room learning story via story park daily.
Storypark provides a secure way to share information and real-time updates of your
child’s day on your smart device or via the web. This App creates strong
partnerships between educators and families with the help of 2-way communication:
documenting and keeping the families engaged by showing you what your child is
doing throughout the day.

You can download Storypark on the AppStore

The Centre also publishes a newsletter which includes photos, Centre updates,
news and upcoming events.

EVENTS

CENTRE EVENTS

Throughout the year at Erina Kindergarten, all families are provided with an
opportunity to attend information sessions where you hear from our centre
managers, our educators and learn about your child’s developmental progress.

Social events are also held at your Centre where you’ll meet other families and enjoy
celebrations with your children. These include morning and afternoon teas, BBQs,
celebrating special events on the calendar, fundraising events and many more.

BOARDS

NOTICE BOARDS

Notice boards are situated within each centre. These contain information concerning
community events, our weekly menu & monthly newsletters. Please check these
notice boards regularly so that you can remain a “well-informed” parent. Each
contains a family information area where you will be able to view the activities of the
day and the weekly curriculum for your room.

COMM. BOOKS

COMMUNICATION BOOKS

Each child in our Centre on request, is issued with a book to provide an important
link between parents and carers. We understand that you do not always have a lot of
time at drop-off or collection, so these books allow messages to be shared between
you and us. Amongst other things, we will note meals, sleeps and toilets through the
day (most appropriate for babies and toddlers), and in case these things are not
discussed on collection, you can refer to it once you get home.
Communication with educators and families can also be made through story park.

SOCIAL

SOCIAL MEDIA

Our Service has a social media accounts to communicate and share information with
our Service families and community.

These include – Facebook & Instagram. It is completely up to the Parent / Guardian
if you would like to authorise the Educators to add photos of your child to these sites.
Our Instagram is an extremely private and secure page and our Facebook page is a
business page where we rarely have photos of the children, but it can be a
possibility. Please specify in the enrolment form if you approve or do not approve of
social media.

In relation to Social Media the Approved Provider or Nominated Supervisor will:
• obtain authorisation from a child’s parents before posting any photos of their child
on-line.
• obtain families’ consent to what information will be posted on-line, and how it will be
shared.
• ensure personal information about families and children is not posted online,
including information that could identify them e.g. address.
• set high privacy or security settings on the account and consider whether to restrict
access e.g. through the establishment of a group account where families are invited
to join.

• regularly change passwords to the account.
• activate password protected screen savers on all computers at the Service and
ensure all social media users at the Service always log off before leaving.
• administer the social media page to maintain strict control of the information that is
added.
• manage our Service’s social media account.
• regularly scan online content related to the Service.
