About Collins Legacy Day Care
Collins Legacy Day Care is a childcare and early learning initiative of Collins Legacy Foundation created to provide children with a safe, caring and supportive environment while giving families access to dependable daily care.
The Day Care is part of the foundation's wider commitment to supporting children and families. We believe that children need more than supervision. They need opportunities to learn, play, develop confidence, build relationships and feel respected and cared for.
Our approach combines daily care with age-appropriate learning, creative activities, play, social development and positive interaction. We work to create an environment where every child can develop at their own pace while receiving appropriate attention from caring adults.
The Day Care is intended to support families who need reliable childcare while helping children build a strong foundation for their early years.
Care Built Around Children and Families
Our day care brings together care, learning, play and family support in one welcoming environment.
Caring Environment
We aim to provide children with a warm, respectful and supportive environment where they can feel comfortable, valued and encouraged to participate.
Safe & Responsible Care
Children's safety and wellbeing are central to our approach. We promote responsible supervision, appropriate routines and respectful relationships between children, families and caregivers.
Learning Through Play
Children learn through exploration, play, creativity, stories, interaction and age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity and development.
A Day Filled With Care, Learning and Play
A typical day at Collins Legacy Day Care is structured around a balance of care, learning, play, rest and social interaction.
Children are welcomed into the centre and given time to settle into the day's routine. Activities are planned according to children's developmental needs and may include guided learning, stories, creative activities, music, movement, indoor and outdoor play, group activities and free play.
Throughout the day, caregivers provide supervision and encouragement while helping children develop positive habits such as sharing, communicating, cooperating and caring for their surroundings.
Rest and quiet periods are included where appropriate so that children have time to relax and recharge.
The daily routine may vary according to the children's age groups, activities planned for the day and the needs of the children attending.
Learning Through Everyday Experiences
At Collins Legacy Day Care, learning is part of everyday life. Children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, communicate with others and develop confidence through activities that are appropriate for their stage of development.
Activities may include early literacy, numbers and counting, storytelling, drawing and creative work, music, movement, puzzles, games, nature and environmental activities, group discussions and supervised play.
We also encourage children to develop important social and personal skills, including communication, cooperation, independence, sharing, problem-solving and respect for others.
Our aim is not simply to keep children occupied during the day. We want everyday experiences to become opportunities for children to learn, discover and develop.
Your Child's Safety Comes First
The safety and wellbeing of children is a fundamental responsibility of Collins Legacy Day Care.
Children are expected to remain under appropriate supervision during day care activities, and staff and volunteers are expected to follow the foundation's safeguarding requirements and professional standards when working with children.
Drop-off and pick-up arrangements are managed with the child's safety in mind. Parents and guardians should provide the information required during registration and follow the centre's agreed collection procedures.
The Day Care also promotes good hygiene and clean surroundings as part of everyday childcare. Any health, medical, allergy or emergency information that parents provide should be communicated clearly during registration so that caregivers can respond appropriately.
Where a child becomes unwell or an emergency occurs, parents or guardians will be contacted according to the centre's procedures.
Detailed safeguarding, emergency, health and collection procedures are provided to families as part of the registration process.
A Place Designed for Children
Collins Legacy Day Care aims to provide an environment where children can learn, play and interact comfortably throughout the day.
The day care environment includes spaces for learning, creative activities, quiet time, group interaction and play. Equipment and learning materials are selected and arranged according to the activities being offered and the needs of the children attending.
We believe that a good childcare environment should be welcoming, organized and appropriate for children's development. Children should have opportunities to explore their surroundings while learning to respect shared spaces, materials and one another.
