Crafts For Kids takes enrolment bookings for children from the age of 6 weeks until school age. We have 4 separate rooms to accommodate the different age groups and stages of development. We are open from 7am - 6:30pm.

• Room 1, 0-2 year olds
• Room 2, 2 year olds
• Room 3, Sessional Pre-School
• Room 4, 3 – 5 year olds.

During your child’s day at Crafts for Kids our carers take notes on the likes, dislikes, strengths and needs of each child in care. From this, activities are devised to assist children with their development.
There are six main areas we look at,

• Gross motor or large muscle movement – such as arms and legs,
• Fine motor or small muscle movement – such as fingers, toes etc,
• Emotional development
• Social development
• Language development
• Cognitive development – thinking skills

We incorporate many different activities ranging from arts and crafts to trampolining to home corner play, to help the children learn from different situations and a broad range of experiences. Your child may believe they are only here to have fun, but the reason why each activity has been chosen will be documented and kept for reference. You are welcome to view any information we have regarding your child at any time. (Due to privacy laws, a parent or guardian can only view information pertaining to their child.)

Some of the activities will have an ‘end product’ which the children may take home but many of the experiences are designed for children to practise a particular skill and there may not be a finished product to show Mum and Dad. An example of this is; puzzles, threading with beads, block building, etc.

Imagination and Sensory Development feature highly in our curriculum and with this we try to incorporate experiences the children may not be exposed to at home. We ask that children be dressed in clothes that allow them to participate in all activities, including those which may be messy. (Please provide a change of clothes)

All of the staff at Crafts For Kids will make themselves available to discuss your child’s day, either as a casual chat when you are collecting your children or as a formal meeting at an agreed time. Please do not hesitate to ask as many questions as you feel you need to, we will endeavour to answer them all.
