PENGUIN CHILDCARE BY DESIGN

OUR ENVIRONMENT:

At Penguin Childcare our rich environment enhances active learning and plays a critical role in shaping children's positive attitudes and behaviour towards living life.

The Penguin Childcare environment reflects a child-friendly, safe and welcoming energy. The use and combination of colour, light, open spaces, natural materials, positive reinforcement, displays and music motivates children to flourish and thrive within it.

We are committed to a clean and healthy environment at Penguin Childcare. Children enjoy vegetable gardens, composting and recycling. We endeavour to use natural products wherever possible, whilst keeping cleanliness to the highest standards.

PROMOTING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE:

Nutrition, drinking water and exercise are especially important to young children's physical, mental and social development. At Penguin Childcare we help your child to develop nutritious eating and drinking habits and a love of physical activity.

Penguin Childcare implements partnering programs “Eat Right, Start Right” and “Kids – ‘Go For Your Life’” to promote best practice in nutrition and exercise.

Under food safety regulations, homemade fresh meals are prepared in our own kitchens everyday. Our menus are planned and assessed with input from a nutritionist and a qualified chef. Foods are presented to the children in a relaxed and loving atmosphere. At Penguin Childcare we also happily cater for particular dietary, cultural or religious needs.

Penguin Childcare promotes an orientation for physical activity everyday. Children play outdoor games freely and are physically active in the fresh air with their H2O bottles on a regular basis.

QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS = QUALITY RESULTS:

The children come first at Penguin Childcare. We only entrust talented, passionate, committed and qualified staff that stand out from the crowd.

The Penguin Childcare family have a great rapport with each other. They work as a team cultivating trust, truth and thankfulness. Our staff is respected and rewarded. Therefore they are happy, which flows onto the children and parents. We have one of the highest staff retention rates in the industry.

We aim to attract, hire and develop quality staff. We encourage, support and fund ongoing professional development and furthering education and training to ensure that we continue to provide the best service and build on our reputation for excellence.

Penguin Childcare has an open-door policy and our staff happily work in partnership with parents. Consistent communication via both regular informal chats and more formal meetings, such as parent/teacher interviews, are always welcomed and organised. Kinder teachers also provide written reports when your child makes the transition to Primary School.
