Parents & Carers Information

 

Welcome to Wellard Early Learning and OSHC! We understand how important
it is for you to be well-informed and prepared for your child’s time with us.
Below, you’ll find key details about enrolment and what to bring to help your
child have a positive and enjoyable experience.

 

How to Enrol

 

Enrolling your child at Wellard Early Learning and OSHC is simple.
To get started, please visit our Enrolment Page where you’ll find all the
information you need, required documents, and fee details.

 

We encourage early enrolment as spaces are limited, and we want to
ensure your child has a spot in our program. 

Should you have any questions or need assistance with the process,
don’t hesitate to contact us!

 

What to Bring

 

To ensure your child has everything they need for a comfortable day, we ask parents and carers to provide the following items:

 

Food and Snacks

Children are required to bring their own food for the day, including lunch, snacks, and drinks.  We encourage a balanced diet, such as sandwiches, fruit, crackers, and yoghurt, to keep your child energised throughout the day.  Please ensure your child’s food is enough for their needs, especially for full-day sessions. Don’t forget a water bottle to keep them hydrated.

​

Important: As a not-for-profit service, providing meals is not included, so bringing your own food helps us keep costs minimal.

 

Special Diets or Allergies

If your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please inform us during enrolment so we can make the necessary accommodations.

It’s a good idea to pack extra snacks in case of emergencies, particularly if your child has specific dietary needs.

 

Spare Clothes

We recommend packing a change of clothes for your child (including underwear and socks) to cover any spills, outdoor play, or bathroom accidents.

Please ensure the spare clothes are weather-appropriate, as outdoor activities are part of the daily schedule.

 

Sun Protection

For your child’s safety during outdoor activities, please pack a hat and sunscreen.

We encourage applying sunscreen before arrival, and if necessary, you can leave a labelled bottle with us for reapplication during the day.

 

Comfort Items

If your child has a comfort item (like a favourite toy, blanket, or stuffed animal), bringing it along can help them feel secure and settled in a new environment.

 

Footwear

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are important for both indoor and outdoor activities. Sandals and thongs can pose safety risks, so please avoid them.

 

Weather-Appropriate Gear

Depending on the season, please pack suitable clothing:

    •    Summer: Light clothing, hats, and sunscreen.

    •    Winter: Warm jackets, gloves, and boots for outdoor play.

 

Bags

A small, clearly labelled bag or backpack to carry your child’s belongings and keep everything organised.

 

Important Reminders

Labelling: Please ensure all personal items, including clothing, food containers, and bags, are clearly labelled with your child’s name to help us keep track of belongings.

​

Health and Safety: If your child is unwell or showing signs of illness, please keep them at home to help protect other children and staff. Notify us if your child has any health concerns we should be aware of.

 

At Wellard Early Learning and OSHC, we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your child. If you ever have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to get in touch. We look forward to working together to ensure your child’s time with us is enjoyable and enriching.
