Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.\\nFor nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.\\nFor toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it\\u2019s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.\\nPlus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.\\nIt\\u2019s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I get updates on my child's day?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Community Kids uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child\\u2019s day.\\nAfter you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child\\u2019s learning, learn about your child\\u2019s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What happens if my child gets sick?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Community Kids is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.\\nUnder the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.\"}}]}<\/script>    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_24_66a9b4b011657\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container full no-image\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                                                                                    <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-star-heart pattern-one\"><\/i>\n                                                                                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-sun-pen pattern-two\"><\/i>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Contact us<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">We look forward to welcoming your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__buttons-group\">\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"\/book-a-tour?centre=community-kids-melton-early-education-centre\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Book a tour\"><span>Book a tour<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <a href=\"\/enquire-now?centre=community-kids-melton-early-education-centre\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Enquire now\"><span>Enquire now<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1582,"parent":99,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-438","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Community Kids Melton | Childcare &amp; Kindergarten<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get the best start to early learning with our child care and kindergarten programs at Community Kids Melton.
