Additional Programs

In addition to delivering quality early childhood education and care for all children, Edrington Park Child Care Centre also offer many additional programs and services to our families and their children.

	Pre-School Medical Doctor Dr. Rob Chan visits the Centre each Tuesday and is available for consultations and immunisations for both children and staff. This is a bulk-billed service. Details of a child’s condition may be written on the form on the office bench or sealed in an envelope, if you wish these details to remain confidential. A note will be left with the office after your child's consultation together with any necessary prescription. All consultations are carried out in the presence of a staff member.
	Holiday Program Kindergarten at Edrington Park Child Care Centre follows the Victorian school terms, therefore, over school holidays kinder does not operate. Many children choose to take holidays over this time so as not to interfere with their kinder term. For our remaining children and our Starfish room children we run a holiday program packed with exciting activities, themed days, incursions and excursions. All children of kinder age are invited to participate as well as their older school age siblings. Bookings must be made through the office. Click here for your copy of our Holiday Program
	Rhythm & Tunes with Miss Norliah Children from Seahorse, Turtles, Starfish and Stingray kinder rooms, participate in weekly music, dance and dress ups with Miss Norliah.
	Community Library Program To provide opportunities for the EPCCC community to actively participate in a literacy program that enhances each child's learning and development. The EPCCC Community Library was officially opened by author, Hazel Edwards.
	Bush Kinder Program Planet ARK research shows only 35 percent of Australian children play outside every day, and one in 10 only plays outside once a week. This is in stark contrast to their parents' generation, with double that many saying they played outside every day as children. We provide a bush kinder program to our kinder children to extend on their outdoor play environment, creativity, social and problem solving, confidence and cognitive development. This program is held on alternate days each week to ensure every child is able to participate.
