2025 Enrolments
Appleseed is now taking enrolments for January 2025, please ensure that your child is on our waitlist if you would like to be offered a position.
Enrolment Policy
When considering places for children, our policy is straightforward. Priority is given to children who have a sibling already at Appleseed, and to children who live in the local community.
We also implement Government recommendations to ensure priority of access is given to children at risk of abuse or neglect, children of single parents, and children of couples who both satisfy the Work, Training, Study test.
Enrolments are for a minimum of two days per week. This is recommended for the emotional wellbeing of your child. Two or more days in care provides continuity and allows children to feel a sense of confidence within their carers and their environment.
Enrolment Checklist
Once you have secured a place for your child at Appleseed, you will be given an enrolment pack.
You will also need to provide a copy of:
- Your child’s Birth Certificate
- An up-to-date Immunisation History Statement
We will get you to complete an online enrolment form and complete direct debit.
Upon enrolment, your child will receive a preschool bag, hat, and drink bottle.
Orientation
An orientation session will be arranged before your child's first day. Orientation allows us to get to know you and your child and for your child to feel a sense of belonging in our centre.
During orientation, children will meet their educcators and are encouraged to explore the room and outdoors, including painting, drawing, building with blocks, all while in the comforting presence of their parent or parents.
It’s a great idea to talk about the experience with your child at home afterwards.
