There was never any judgement, just genuine care, kindness and understanding. The educators in the older rooms were absolutely amazing with our girls, taking the time to truly understand their individual needs and ensuring they felt safe, happy and supported and leaving was an incredibly emotional time for our family, but the compassion, understanding and support we received went above and beyond anything we could have expected\ud83d\ude2d\u2764\ufe0f.\nWhat makes this centre so special is that you&#039;re not treated like just another family walking through the doors. You&#039;re made to feel like part of their family. The love, dedication and genuine care shown by management and educators is something we will always be grateful for.\nCommunity kids pakenham is so much more than a childcare centre.

Leaving your little one in someone else\u2019s care is such a big thing as a parent, and knowing she is surrounded by people who love, comfort and care for her makes it so much easier.\n\nMy child has formed such beautiful bonds with her educators, and seeing how happy and comfortable she is with them says everything. They know her personality, her little quirks and what she needs, and I love seeing how excited she is to see them.\n\nThe communication and support we receive is fantastic, and I always feel like I can approach the team about anything. They have been so supportive of our family and have shown my child so much patience, kindness and affection.\n\nIt really does feel like more than just a childcare centre \u2014 it feels like a little community of people who genuinely care about the children and families who walk through their doors.\n\nWe are incredibly grateful for everyone who plays a part in my child\u2019s days.

If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you\u2019ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child\u2019s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p>To finalise your enrolment, you\u2019ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You\u2019ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child\u2019s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/family-information\/how-to-enrol\">Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.<\/a><\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"g8-accordion__item accordion-item\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"g8-accordion__item__header accordion-header\">\n                                            <button class=\"g8-accordion__item__header__button accordion-button collapsed\"\n                                                type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                                                data-bs-target=\"#flush-collapse-g8-accordion_22_66a9b4b011654-2\"\n                                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                                                aria-controls=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_22_66a9b4b011654-2\">\n                                                <span\n                                                    class=\"g8-accordion__item__title\">What can I do to help my child prepare for starting care?<\/span>\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-alt-arrow-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/button>\n                                        <\/h2>\n                                        <div id=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_22_66a9b4b011654-2\"\n                                            class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\"\n                                            data-bs-parent=\"#g8-accordion_22_66a9b4b011654-items\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-accordion__item__content g8-block-wysiwyg\">\n                                                <p>Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals.

You\\u2019ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the steps to enrol?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.\\nFirst, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you\\u2019ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child\\u2019s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.\\nTo finalise your enrolment, you\\u2019ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You\\u2019ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child\\u2019s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.\\nBefore your child\\u2019s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.\\nRead our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What can I do to help my child prepare for starting care?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.\\nBefore your child\\u2019s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.\\nWhen your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child\\u2019s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.\\nLearn more about our Settling-in Program.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What should I pack my child for their first day?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. 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.
