Dubbo West Preschool News
We would like to welcome back our returning families and children. To our new families we welcome you to our preschool. Term 1 is always a busy time with children, parents and staff all settling into their new rooms. If you are unsure about anything please see the staff in your room or ask at the office. FEE ACCOUNTS You will have in your pockets a fee statement. This statement does not have any subsidies attached. To receive a discount your combined family income needs to be below $75,000.00 (Proof of income will need to be provided to the office for the subsidy to be given). Pension card holders also receive a subsidy (a copy of your card needs to be given to the office).
ALL FEES ARE TO BE KEPT 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE AT ALL TIMES.

If you are having any difficulties with fees please see the Director Cathryn Albert or ring to discuss on 68827144. A copy of the 2013 fee schedule will be given to all families after the next Parent Committee meeting on the 11th February at 7pm. PARENT Management Committee The committee from 2012 will attend one last meeting on the 11th February 2013 prior to the Annual General Meeting where a new committee will be nominated and voted in. Please think about helping the preschool and attend the AGM which will be held around March dependant on the accountant finalising our audit. Watch for further information on the AGM date & time. Independent Indigenous Representative The preschool is also asking for anyone who is interested in becoming our Independent Indigenous Representative for 2013. As we receive funding from DEEWR for specific educational goals we require a representative to assist in planning for the children. Please see the office or Educators in your room if you can assist in the future planning of your childrens education.
Just a few reminders about Preschool ~ Please pack a hat for your
child all year round and apply sunscreen before arriving at preschool. ~We ask you to pack a drink bottle for your child with water. ~ Egg & Nut free at preschool! ~ We encourage the children to eat their fruit first at morning tea ~ We have a rest period after lunch, please pack cot sheets in a pillow case clearly labelled with your childs name. ~ Please remember to pack a spoon with your yoghurt/ custard ~ We do encourage all children to eat their crusts on their sandwiches, if your child does not eat them, could you please cut them off. ~ We ask that you only fill your childs drink bottle with water only, poppers are allowed with lunch. ~ Each morning at 10am we provide the children with one piece of buttered toast. ~ Please cut up any fruit which your child may have difficulty eating. ~ We ask that you do not send any Chips or chocolate eg. Choc chip biscuits, choc coated bars, twisties. 3 year old children must be 3 before attending preschool. Limited nappy change facilities are available so children need to be toilet trained. Accidents will happen so changes of all clothes should be packed.
Tears and preschool !!!!! The next few weeks will be when you will notice that your children and in particular three year old children may become upset before coming to preschool and not want to come. This is a normal part of growing up and learning how to cope on their own. TIPS TO HELP *Discuss what they are going to do at preschool with them the night before and what will happen during the day. Finish your discussion with And then Mummy, Daddy or Nan etc will pick you up and we will go shopping or we will go home to feed a pet . This conversation can continue the next morning before coming to preschool as well. Soon they will become familiar with the preschool routine and will know what they will be doing each part of the day. This is when separation will become easier again. *Other tips are being firm but happy when dropping off, say goodbye and leave as children will pick up any hesitation you have to leave. This shows you are confident in the environment you are leaving them in and they trust your judgement. *For children who still struggle, make a small photo book for them to bring to preschool of your family, car and pets. This is a great transition tool that can begin a conversation with a teacher or assistant giving parents time to say a quick goodbye and distraction enough to help with tears. This can also be used during the day by staff to discuss their family or home and what they will do when they get picked up. *Staff will ring you if your child does not settle or feel free to ring and see how they are on 68827144.
