Choosing a Marsfield Childcare Centre

For many parents, finding the right childcare centre stirs up a range of emotions. After all, you are leaving the most precious person in your life in the hands of a stranger. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Our Marsfield childcare offers a special place that nurtures and enhances the development of children. We create an environment for learning, development and growth through play and socialisation with others. It is a home away from home so picking the right childcare service forms an important part of parents’ lives. Determining the type of childcare that you are looking for is an important step. The type of care may differ depending on your overall objective. For example, if you are looking for someone to look after your child for hour or two whilst you run errands, a long day care service may not be the appropriate choice, family, friends, babysitter or perhaps an occasional care centre may be the best option. On the other hand, if you are looking to provide early education, then a long day care may be a better option. We also recommend families to take centre tours. Visiting an early learning centre is the best way to meet our centre directors and key educators, check out our daily routines and our facilities and indoor and outdoor experiences offered. You’re welcome to book a tour for our Marsfield childcare centre and our centre Director will be very pleased to give you a tour. Childcare costs can take a big portion of household expendable income so it is no surprise that careful consideration of the costs is needed. Lower fee isn’t always the cheapest, nor is the most expensive always the best. So, you should balance the fee for the service the childcare centre delivers. It may seem like it’s simple and straightforward but cleanliness can play an important part in choosing the right childcare centre. Ultimately trust your gut feeling. It doesn’t matter how amazing the centre is or how great the staff are, or if they have availabilities or the cost is low. Trust your instinct, and if your gut tells you to keep looking, then do just that.

Preparation for School

It’s only natural that one day your child is going to outgrow childcare and early learning and so our Marsfield Heights childcare centre, Imaginations aims to prepare each child for their future school years to the optimum of each capacity. We don’t place too much pressure on them thus we gently guide them through learning. We help them by applying new skills so that they may have a pocket of resources for when they begin to attend primary school. Some children will develop quicker than others, rapidly absorbing information and skills and be well-prepared for school but this does not mean that their emotional state is also ready for school years. Our educators at Marsfield childcare centre understand this and hence offer an all-encompassing strategy to help the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of all children regardless of the level of their skills. While some children may progress at a slower rate, they still have enormous opportunities to gain skills and achieve successful outcomes during their school years. Lifelong attitudes are often established within the early years and cognitive development years of childhood so our educators encourage positive and productive attitudes towards educators, towards the children themselves, with the other children and with the activities.
