RECEIPTS
The office will issue receipts. For children who do not attend the Preschool your receipt will be mailed to your home

LATE BOOKINGS
It is possible to ring the Preschool during the holidays to book your child into care. However care will only be provided
if there is a place available on that particular day and a late booking fee of $20 will be charged.
SIBLINGS & RETURNING CHILDREN
Holiday Care is also open to siblings of children currently enrolled and children who have previously attended the
Preschool, provided that they are between the ages of 3 and 8. If enrolling a younger child for the first time, please note
all children attending must be toilet-trained.
For siblings and children returning, please ensure that you have completed an Enrolment Form before your child
commences to ensure we have up to date information. When attending holiday care, please place your child’s bag, hat
etc. outside the Garderie class.

Please pack a drink, morning tea and lunch for your child. The Preschool will provide afternoon tea. Morning tea (goûter)
boxes are to be placed in their usual spot (eg: if your child is in Classe Rouge, then your child’s morning tea goes in the
Classe Rouge morning tea box). Children not currently enrolled at the Preschool can put their lunch in the Garderie
fridge. Please note our Nutrition and Food Policy, and try to provide a nutritious and balanced selection of foods. Avoid
“sometimes foods” where possible.
