A New Start to the ELC Year

Lyn Pewtress, ELC Coordinator

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our 2021 Early Learning Centre families. We are excited about the forthcoming year, and feel privileged to begin your child’s educational journey at Kilvington. 

Our Early Learning Centre is a vibrant and exciting new place for our youngest students. It was wonderful to meet the many families who joined us during our transition program. I thank the ELC educators for their dedication and for enabling a seamless beginning to the year.  

The groups have all settled in well. Our return in the first week saw many of the children excitedly catching up with old friends, while for others it was an opportunity to make new ones. To begin the year, the children have spent their days exploring the indoor/outdoor environments and participating in a range of educational experiences. 

We anticipate a wonderful year ahead as the children familiarise themselves with one another and share many exciting discoveries. We have all enjoyed our first initial weeks together.

We look forward to working in partnership with families and the children; strengthening the important links between home and the early childhood environment to support a smooth beginning to the more formal years of school.

While we welcomed all our new and returning ELC children this year, the educators have also observed past 2020 ELC students venture into school life. We wish each and every one of them a wonderful start to the school year.
