WHAT DO YOU TEACH THE CHILDREN?
Our approach to early learning means we focus not only on school readiness for transition to kindergarten, but also on preparing your child with skills for life. We support children’s interests and extend on these interests to provide children opportunities for further exploration and learning. This allows a child to develop confidence, express themselves creatively and grow a sense of self-identity and belonging.
Besides individual exploration, children also learn socialisation skills through co-operation, building relationships, and engaging in a group. The daily program is made up of group times and learning areas that involve the children to broaden their learning and development. Children lead the program, while staff are there to support and guide the play and learning involved. Detailed reports are shared with you daily on parent app ‘KindyHub’, and individual child observations sent to you monthly on ‘KindyHub’.

WHAT DO CHILDREN EAT DURING THE DAY?
Our in-house kitchen cook prepares fresh meals at SOCCS on a daily basis for Joeys Room, Kookaburras Room, and Koalas Preschool. Our menus cater for children with allergies and/or dietary requirements, such as vegetarian meals. Our menus comply with the Australian Dietary Guidelines to ensure they meet ACECQA criteria for children. Our menus are also approved by NSW Health's initiative 'Munch n Move'. SOCCS meals are a mixture of textures, colours, and cultures. Weekly menus are available in the parent app ‘KindyHub’ and we are always open to feedback from parents to contribute to our evolving menus.
WHAT IS THE ENROLMENT PROCESS?
Please submit our free Waitlist form with red asterisk* marked questions answered, to receive availability updates and newsletters: https://soccs.hubworks.com.au/registrations/register?waitlist=true.
Since March 2020 due to lockdown, we moved our enrolment process online. This includes; an online link replacing enrolments forms, PDF version of the enrolment pack including Parent Handbook, unlimited support via phone or email as needed, bond and other fees no longer accepted in cash, and more changes made. You are most welcome to arrange a tour to visit in-person and see our wonderful centre for yourself.
After enrolment is finalised, your free two-week orientation period begins with ‘stay and play’ sessions. This is a chance to meet your child’s educators and discuss individual needs and routines with them one-on-one. Our educators can then help with settling in your child, provide you all the support needed, before your child’s official start date. Please call 9763 5020 or submit the Contact Form to get started.
