Early Learning Centre

From the Director's Chair

We have had a wonderful start to the year in the ELC.

Our first Inquiry topic has been 'All about Me'. The children have been busy measuring and comparing how tall they are. A highlight of the first week was a coffee shop in our Role Play area. Children were busy taking orders and serving coffee.

The ELC has had a refurbishment over the term break and the students are enjoying new routines and new learning areas. It has been a fabulous opportunity as I have started as Director in the ELC to revise and reinvigorate. Our teaching staff  Mrs Daddow and Mrs Downes are excited to return to the Centre . We also welcome Mrs Collins back from a stint in Murray Bridge along with our regular support staff Mrs. McCabe, Mr Cameron, Miss Lawson and Mrs Grocke will return after some annual leave in week 4.

I have enjoyed the time I have spent getting to know families and children and I thank you all for the warm welcome.

Acquaintance night was a great opportunity to meet staff and tour the ELC. Many thanks to the families who came. We are looking forward to a fantastic year.
