Child Care

 

Child care at Dewdrops Early Learning is a central component to who we are. Ensuring the children at our services are comfortable, safe and nurtured is a priority.

Your child will be cared for by passionate and dedicated educators, who will ensure your child’s physical and emotional needs are met throughout the day. Your child will be provided quality nutritional meals and snacks, prepared on-site by our talented cooks, to support their growth and development. Educators will also implement learning programs and experiences that will encourage your child’s fine and gross motor skills development, build on their social skills and resilience and stimulate their ever-growing minds.

What does child care look like at Dewdrops Early Learning ?

Babies (0-2 years)

  • Your child will be supported through the transition from home to child care. We will work with you to develop routines and experiences that will allow your child to feel safe and secure in their new environment.
  • We focus on continuity of care, which means your child will always be cared for by familiar educators, building strong and meaningful relationships.
  • We will encourage relationship building with other children through small group activities.
  • Your child will have lots of one-on-one care and learning experiences with educators.
  • Your child will have access to a variety of resources, indoor/outdoor environments and sensory experiences to foster their learning and development.
  • All learning experiences are flexible and responsive to your child’s needs and interests.
  • And when your child is ready, we will work with you and your child to smoothly transition to the next stage in their early learning and childcare journey.

Toddlers (2-3 years)
