Lunch:
A lunch box containing a nutritious and plentiful lunch and morning tea. Please make sure your child’s food & lunch box is labelled clearly.
It is expected that children will have a selection of nourishing and healthy foods in their lunch box to choose from. Sandwiches, wraps, salads, meat, cheeses, crackers, fruit & yoghurt are all good healthy choices. Small cakes, muffins and biscuits are ok for a small treat. Leaflets are available with suggestions for healthy lunch options or you go to our Healthy Lunch Box page for recipes and ideas.
Please do not send chips, peanuts, lollies or chocolate. Also food that has lot of packaging and is hard to open as, not only are we aiming for litter free lunches. Children will be expected to manage their food themselves.
All food is refrigerated soon after your child’s arrival in the morning. Please do not send food in insulated chill packs as they take up too much room in the fridge.
Water is always available to the children throughout our kindy day. Children may wish to bring in a labelled water bottle that will be kept in their locker for easy access, they can drink from our chilled water bubbler in the playground, or they may access the filtered water from the water cooler on our back deck using cups that we provide for your child.
Sun Hat:
Hats must be worn at all times by children when outside. C&K regulations state that hats must be wide brimmed or legionnaire style for maximum protection. Caps are not considered sun safe. Your child will be provided with a kindy branded bucket hat upon enrolment.
No Sun Safe Hat = No Outdoor Play
Sheets for Resting Time:
Chill-out time is a necessary part of our day when children have a chance to quieten down, rest and reflect on their day. Each child will need a fitted bottom sheet for their mattress, (mattress size is 123 x 60cm should you wish to make a fitted one) & a flat top sheet. Cot sheets are ideal. Sheets should be in a bedding bag with drawstring
Children are welcome to bring along small cushions or small cuddly toys to support their chill-out time. Please ensure these are labelled and recognised by your child, and can fit into their sheet bag, as storage space is limited.
Sun Screen:
SPF15+ or higher. Roll-ons are much easier for children to apply themselves.
Insect Repellent:
Roll-ons are much easier for children to apply themselves.
Spare Clothes:
At least one spare change of clothes and underwear to be kept in your child’s bag in case of accidents or wet play.
Please send your child in comfortable, practical clothes. Shoes are not necessary and will be taken off for outside play as they are unsuitable for climbing and sandpit play.
Handtowels:
Handtowels are provided by the centre.
