Bali Life Daycare & Kindy

Daycare

At BaliLife Daycare & Kindy, we are excited to expose children to the world of reading and literacy. Reading can take you on journey’s beyond your current circumstances, introduce you to worlds you’re yet to experience and connect you with people all over the world. And you’re never too young to fall in love with reading! We incorporate Literacy into every part of our day; literacy isn’t just limited to reading it combines talking, listening, reading and writing.

The reading component of our Literacy Rich Environment is supported through our connection with Australian Leader’s of Early Literacy Little Miracles Childcare, Our team are mentored and trained in their Teach Your Toddler to Read program. Little Miracles has a 90% success rate in sending children to Kindergarten reading. We will be introducing children to the basics of phonetic literacy in a fun and easy to learn way. We aim for every child to move from our care into formal schooling with established pre-reading skills.

Baby Daily Routines

Working in Partnership with YOU, the expert on your Child, we ensure that the routine your child follows at home, is followed at the centre. This can help your child settle well into care. For example, if your child has a bottle & solids before being rocked to sleep, we follow this routine according to your child’s needs that day. We believe that a child needs security in the rhythm of a routine, whether at home or in care. In our younger rooms, specifically, Educators integrate each child’s routine together to form the room routine that is special to that room, that day and that group of children.

Routine Communication

For our Radiant Rainbows & Shining Stars routine communication, like food, toileting & sleep, is vital at this stage of development. This is all conveniently documented on clipboards in your child’s room.

Our Daycare Program

We believe children’s development is driven by their play and curiosity. Learning is sparked by new experiences and new understandings of the world around them. Through play, children test, experiment and challenge their surroundings, which are key skills in their life-long learning.

An example of our older rooms routines are listed below. The timing of the day isn’t followed strictly, but the order is always followed.

My Day

Every Child is individually observed every month on a cycle to ensure they are meeting developmental milestones whilst also recording their joys and interests at this special age. These are written in English by our experienced Educators and electronically sent to you with photos.

Monthly Learning Focus

Each Month parents will receive our topic for the month along with our plans for learning and experience. We appreciate any feedback you may have and any further topics or discussions you suggest.
