4 This booklet will give you some basic information about SDN Children’s Services, and the standard activities that you and your child can expect at your chosen preschool. The staff at your SDN preschool are all early childhood professionals, and are looking forward to getting to know you and your family. The Preschool Director is the best person to talk to if you have any questions about the information in this booklet, or if you have any concerns. You can of course find useful information on our website www.sdn.org.au. You can read our policy documents there or at your centre. The curriculum at SDN preschools is based on the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and we are required to meet the National Quality Standard for Education and Care services (NQS), which is an assessment framework put in place by the government to ensure all preschools meet (or exceed) a minimum standard. More information about the EYLF and NQS can be found at www.acecqa.gov.au We look forward to a happy and rewarding association with you, and welcome you to come to the preschool at any point to spend time with your child. We hope that this is the start of a long and happy relationship between SDN, your child and you. Welcome to your SDN preschool
