The Centre is licensed under the Children's Services Ordinance 1986 to provide child care. Licence reviews are conducted at the Centre annually by an appointed Child Care Advisor. The children are grouped together in sections that reflect the age and stage of development of the children. Each section has two staff - one person with early childhood qualifications and the other a trained or experienced assistant. Children progress through the Centre as they develop, and as places become available.
Consideration is given to gentle change and progression.
The friendships a child has established with other children and staff are important for self-confidence and security. However, at times a child may demonstrate through their behaviour that they are ready for the more challenging experiences that an older grouping can provide. Such matters are always considered before a child moves on. Discussions will take place between parents, the staff involved, and the Director in order to determine the suitability of a move. On enrolment, the Director will provide examples of the programming occurring in the groups the children progress through during their time at the Centre.
