Diamond Creek Memorial
Kindergarten Virtual Kinder to launch Today!
Tuesday
August 11, 2020
Dear Families,
It feels like we have not seen some of you in a long time and for
the first time ever, Kindergartens have been closed. This might
change for us as families working situations change throughout
Stage 4 lockdown, but this week we have no children in attendance.
Some of you will be feeling quite relaxed about spending time at
home for these six weeks and we recognise that others will be
feeling anxious.
As teachers and educators, this is also very new for us and
actually sad! Early childhood teachers and educators work in early
childhood because we thrive facilitating play and learning with
your children face to face not from our own homes.
Our aim is to keep you as connected to Diamond Creek Memorial
Kindergarten throughout this time by providing a mix of learning
experiences for your child and parent information tutorials or
factsheets daily in line with either 3 or 4 year old timetabling.
It is extremely flexible and you can engage with everything
everyday or not everyday or perhaps this and that.
There is quite a lot of video footage filmed by our team which we
hope your children will enjoy but remember we are not actors or
filmmakers. Goodness! We have numbered experiences in a order, but
again flexibility is key and it will start from yesterday but do
not feel like you need to catch up. Have a look though and perhaps
even just play Dee's welcome video.
This will be available through our website portal where you will
login and register and then access daily posts clearly named with
date and age group. Instructions on how to do this will be emailed
in a separate email once we finalise this process this morning.
Over the next few weeks, we will also contact every family to
discuss life in lockdown, cover off any questions and just to keep
in touch. There will also be learning and wellbeing packs available
for collection from kinder and these can be posted to families
outside the 5km radius.
Please keep in touch and keep a look out daily for kinder life
coming to your home.
Take care and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Warm thoughts and wishes, Bron, Dee and
Simone
