6 Arrival Children must be signed into and out of the preschool by an adult over 18 years old. Signing in and out is very important as a security check for attendance and in case the preschool needs to be evacuated. When you drop off your child, we ask that you bring them into the preschool so you can be greeted by a staff member, who will be able to share information with you and let you know about daily happenings. Please make sure that your child has put on sunscreen before they arrive. Sunscreen is re-applied at regular intervals throughout the day. Departure At the end of the day children can only be taken home by a person who has been nominated on the enrolment form. If an unauthorised person arrives to collect your child they will not be able to take your child out of the preschool. Please tell staff in writing if someone else will be collecting your child on a certain day. Excursions Excursions are used to support children’s interests and learning through taking part in authentic experiences outside of the preschool, where children will get the chance to actively participate in their community. Go to our website and read SDN’s policies on child-staff ratios for excursions, and how we organise excursions, if you want more information. Emergency contacts Please make sure your emergency contacts are reliable, are close by and that their phone numbers are up to date so that they can be contacted quickly in an emergency.
