All parents/carers are encouraged to stay during the first fifteen minutes of each session to engage in puzzles with their children. This is an informal session and allows a time to discuss any minor matters or simply to touch base with the staff. Parents also play an important role in the Pre-school
programme and there are a number of ways you can assist the staff in providing your child with the best
possible education at Pre-school:

• Supporting and encouraging your child to develop a positive sense of self worth.
• Discussing any problems or worries directly with the staff.
• Visiting the Pre-school and joining in the day’s programme.
• Supporting the Pre-school committee.
• Offering to share any hobbies, interests or expertise you may have with the children. (e.g. playing an instrument, gardening, fabric painting/printing, sewing, pottery, cooking, carpentry, etc. ) Don’t be shy about offering your assistance.
• Assist with garden working bees.

Children really enjoy seeing their parents/carers at Preschool and appreciate their support. If you stay for a session, any siblings are welcome under your supervision.
