Dear Families,
A warm welcome to the Minimbah Early Childhood Centre for 2025!

As Director of Woodleigh's Early Years, I am privileged to work and learn alongside an incredible team of teachers and educators. This extraordinary group of people bring their insights, expertise, interests, and passion to their work with the children each and every day.

As we begin our year in the Early Childhood Centre, we are excited to connect with you and, most importantly, your children!

The teaching team will welcome you and your children to our Introduction Meetings, which will allow us to learn more about your child and understand their needs and interests.

As your child's first and most important teachers, you know them best. Please come along ready to share your observations, hopes, and dreams for them this year. We seek to work in partnership with you to develop goals and learning experiences that will personalise your child's settling-in and learning experience.

If your child has additional needs, please bring any relevant plans, reports, or documentation to this meeting. These will help us to support your child's transition to the ECC program.

 



Key Points

Communication: If your child has a medical condition such as an allergy or asthma, additional paperwork is required. If you have not already done so, please make time to meet with me to complete this and discuss your child's specific needs.

Drop-off and Pick-up: As your child settles into the program, please feel free to check in with any members of our team. We are here to support you with drop-offs and feedback about your child's day.

Open Communication: If you have any questions or concerns, your child's teacher should always be the first point of contact. As the Director of Early Childhood, my role is to support children, families, and our teaching team and oversee the running of the centre. Please do not hesitate to contact me or make time to catch up if I can support you in any way. I can be contacted at [email protected]

Note: To help you navigate the early weeks of the program, please refer to this Tip Sheet. It is filled with lots of helpful information and resources.

I can't wait to share this wonderful year of exploration and growth with you and your families!

See you soon,

LISA COXON
Director of Early Years
