Orientation Sessions
Starting childcare is a big step for both children and families. Our orientation sessions are designed to help everyone feel welcome, comfortable and confident before your child’s first day.
Most families participate in one or two orientation sessions before their child’s commencement date, giving children the opportunity to become familiar with their new environment while families have time to connect with educators and ask questions.
Getting to Know Your Family
Every child is unique, and one of the most important parts of orientation is taking the time to learn about your child and your family.
We love hearing about the things that make your child who they are, their interests, favourite activities, routines, strengths and the little details that help them feel comfortable and secure.
During your orientation session, we will talk with you about:
- Your child's interests, strengths and favourite activities
- Home routines, preferences, sleep and rest requirements
- The things that help your child feel comfortable, confident and secure
- How your child communicates their needs
- Your family's goals, expectations and any information that will help us support your child
The more we learn about your child, the better we can support them to feel a sense of belonging from the very beginning.
What to Expect
- Meet your child's educators and begin building relationships
- Become familiar with daily routines and the room program
- Ask questions and discuss your child's individual needs
- Gain confidence and familiarity before your child's first day
Working Together
We know that starting childcare is an important milestone, and we are committed to making the transition a positive experience for both children and families.
Orientation sessions are the beginning of our partnership with you. By getting to know one another and sharing information, we can work together to support your child’s wellbeing, confidence and sense of belonging.
We look forward to welcoming your family to the Bilbies community.
