Curious Kids is now available in Westbury!
Our Lady of Mercy School principal, Mary Bennett, said the program has expanded from one to two sessions in Deloraine and is now available at Holy Trinity Hall in Westbury on Monday afternoons.
‘We welcome children from birth to five years old,’ she said.
‘It’s a free program run by qualified early childhood teacher from Our Lady of Mercy in Deloraine, and it’s open to all families in the Meander Valley community.’
Ms Wall said that for children involved in Curious Kids, there is no obligation to attend Our Lady of Mercy when it is time to attend school.
‘Our aim is to increase each child’s successful transition to school,’ Ms Wall said.
‘The program is about supporting parents to understand children’s development, responding to their strengths, interests and needs.’
Parents attend Curious Kids alongside their children in a welcoming and inspiring environment designed to promote children’s development across all learning areas. Activities are designed to interest children but also to support and encourage parents to be engaged with their child’s learning. Each session has varied activities with music and movement, shared eating, story time and more.
‘There’s no need to book for Curious Kids. Just come along with a hat, coat and a snack ready to join in the fun.’
