Coffee on the Deck

Parents and carers are invited to join us for Coffee on the Deck each Tuesday between 8:30 and 9:00. This is a great opportunity to chat with staff and meet other families. 

Fathering Project

Children learn how to navigate the world by watching those around them - especially their parents. The way you handle emotions, communicate with others, and manage challenges directly influences your child’s emotional and social development.

Model the Behaviours You Want to See

From expressing emotions in healthy ways to handling disagreements with patience, your actions set the foundation for how your child interacts with others.

Try this: Next time you're feeling frustrated, verbalise how you’re managing it: “I’m feeling a bit stressed, so I’m going to take a deep breath and think about how to solve this.” This helps your child learn emotional regulation and problem-solving.
