Start Strong Preschool Program at Redman House

Redman House is a recipient of funding under the NSW Department of Education to assist us in providing the “Start Strong” pre-school program for Long Day Care 2023. We provide a place for preschool children to grow and learn through the freedom of play within a safe and caring environment.

  • We provide spaces where children can make real choices and be in control of their learning. This allows children to learn through trial and error with the belief that mistakes are ok and a necessary part of learning and understanding the world around them.
  • We provide permanent educators, who know your child and can plan meaningful activities and build relationships with your child. This reduces anxiety and provides a relaxed environment for children, families, and educators.
  • We provide a practice of ongoing learning for our Educators, keeping up with changes in our profession is essential.
  • We make sure our area is always safe and clean during our daily routine. All staff and children are encouraged to understand how important it is to maintain a healthy environment.

Monday – Friday
(a) 8.00am – 4.00pm (Short days)

Dietary requirements

At our Preschool we recognise that every child is unique, and so are their dietary preferences and requirements. That’s why parents prefer us over other Daycare centres because they get to choose to bring their own food for their child. The reason why parents prefer this approach is to ensure that their child receives meals that are familiar and comforting. Home-cooked meals prepared with love often provide a sense of security and consistency, helping children feel more at ease in their Daycare environment. By bringing their own food, parents can replicate the same meals their child enjoys at home, promoting a seamless transition between home and Preschool.

Tailored Nutrition

Ensuring that children’s meals at daycare align with what they eat at home is crucial, especially for fussy eaters. It also increases the likelihood that they will eat their meals while at Daycare and at home with enthusiasm. Consistency and familiarity is key when it comes to food times and it can be comforting for children especially when they are in a new environment, helping them feel more at ease during meal times.

Allergies

Another compelling reason for bringing your own food is to address dietary restrictions or allergies. Many children have food sensitivities or allergies that require careful consideration and management. By preparing meals at home, parents can meticulously control the ingredients, avoiding potential allergens and ensuring their child’s safety.

Cultural sensitive meals

Ensuring that children’s meals at Daycare align with what they eat at home is crucial, especially for fussy eaters. When parents pack ethnically appropriate lunches for their children, it increases the likelihood that they will eat their meals with enthusiasm. Familiarity with culturally significant foods can be comforting for children, helping them feel more at ease during meal times at Daycare.
