When booking multiple and ongoing regular visits to your early learning centre, we include all of the above cultural activities, and more into the sessions. We also build on each of these activities over the period of the year, being sure to reinforce the previous learning with each visit.

We start over again in the new year with the new group of students and reinforcing the learning with the current students.

We cater to and develop cultural learning programs for the ‘Kindy Uplift’ program funding which enables selected kindergarten services to respond to the educational and developmental needs of kindergarten children.

The Kindy uplift program targets kindergarten services, including community kindergartens and long day care services, to improve early learning outcomes for up to 13,500 children each year.

Kindy uplift funding will be used to respond to children’s learning and development needs through evidence-based initiatives that lift outcomes for Kindy children.

Kindy uplift funds programs, resources, supports and professional development to build educator capability, support inclusion and improve children’s learning and development.

The department will work closely with sector partners, approved kindergarten service providers and suppliers with expertise and experience in the early years to deliver the program.

PLEASE NOTE

Regarding Incursion Bookings and Cancellations

READ CAREFULLY

If a booking is made in advance by an educator or teacher or any Early Learning Centre employee, and then they leave that centre and do not inform the centre about the incursion booking that they have made with us, the booking is still deemed current until cancelled by their replacement or by someone of position in your organisation or centre -(ELC). We have no idea of who comes and goes from your centre, or whether or not they have told others about their booking, therefor the incursion fee must be paid in full, see below. If we are booked and show up at your centre and you know nothing about our incursion booking, then that is not our fault, it is a lack of communication from your end, not ours, therefore the incursion cost must be paid in full.

IMPORTANT: Please Read carefully

Educators when you make a booking with us you need to cc your Coordinator and or your Centre Manager or Owner into the original email booking thread please.
