Working in Partnership with Parents

At the core of our approach is the belief that successful collaboration with parents is essential. By working together, we create a supportive environment that not only nurtures the growth and development of each child but also strengthens the bonds between parents and our team.

To achieve this, we adhere to the following key principles:

1. Effective Communication: We prioritize transparent and consistent communication with parents. Our daily updates are shared via a dedicated app, ensuring parents are informed and engaged. Additionally, we provide personalized updates during pick-up times to maintain a close connection and address any immediate queries.

2. Shared Goals: Collaboration is key to achieving shared objectives. We encourage and value parental involvement in striving toward the goals that are set for their child's success, creating a cohesive and unified approach.

3. Mutual Respect: We recognize and respect parents' unique insights into their children, while offering our professional guidance and expertise to enhance their development. This mutual understanding fosters trust and cooperation.

4. Flexibility: We adapt our strategies to accommodate the diverse needs, cultural backgrounds, and circumstances of the families we work with, ensuring inclusivity and fairness in our approach.

5. Parental Involvement: Active participation is central to our philosophy. We encourage parents to join us for events, outings, and activities, promoting a sense of community and shared responsibility in their child's growth.

 

Addressing biting and aggression in children requires a thoughtful, consistent, and empathetic approach. These behaviors often stem from frustration, lack of communication skills, or developmental stages, and they can be managed effectively with the right strategies.  We normally use Role Play to address such behaviour. 

 

Role-playing is a fantastic way to teach children about the consequences of their actions and to guide them toward better behavior. It allows them to experience different perspectives in a safe and engaging way

 

Key Aspects of Safety in our Child Care Centre

1. Health and Hygiene:

   • Maintain strict cleaning protocols, ensuring all surfaces, toys, and equipment are sanitized every day.

   • Enforce proper handwashing techniques among staff and children, especially before meals and after bathroom use.

   • After sickness re-entry  is only allowed only with a doctor's note confirming the individual is no longer contagious.  

2. Physical Safety:

   • AME conducts yearly regular safety checks of the facility. 

   • The Management ensures that broken toys are thrown away and hazards are addressed immediately.

3. Supervision:

   • We are committed to maintaining the correct child-to-staff ratio to ensure effective supervision and uphold the highest standards of safety in our child care setting. This approach guarantees that every child receives the individual attention and care they deserve, while also enabling our staff to manage their responsibilities with efficiency and focus.
