Every family must complete an Enrolment Form containing details of each child seeking inclusion into our service. Paper Enrolment Forms are available from the Tabatinga Tweed Heads reception counter.
Once an Enrolment Form has been submitted, all new families will be contacted and asked to attend an orientation meeting prior to acceptance. At this meeting, we will discuss any special requirements that may be necessary to ensure your child/ren can be fully included in our program. A ‘Notification Of Change Of Detail’ is required to be filled out yearly.
A permanent booking is where a child is booked in on regular days for a 10 week school term and has completed the enrolment process.
A casual booking is where a child attends on an occasional or irregular basis and has completed the enrolment process.
* Per child per session
Tabatinga management will work with you to find a solution to meet your needs. Each partner who has a separate financial responsibility for your child/ren will require their own account/enrolment.
It is also important to note that Tabatinga OOSH has strict requirements around signing children in and out of our service. Specifically, authorised adults are only permitted to leave with their child if safety, parental wishes, and custody requirements are adhered to.
If your child has a medical condition such as asthma or anaphylaxis you need to discuss this with the Nominated Supervisor/Responsible Person during your orientation meeting. We will work with you to complete a Medical Management Plan which will need to be signed off by your child’s doctor.
Our team will then create a Risk Minimisation Plan with you based on your child’s medical/special requirements that identifies and reduces risks to your child’s health when attending our service and allows maximum possible inclusion in our program.
To ensure your child’s care is appropriately managed, we will require a copy of any applicable court orders, parenting orders or parenting plans. We will review the information and the documents will be attached to the child’s records.
All information is treated confidentially and with sensitivity. If there are any changes, we ask that you notify us promptly. Where a court order, parenting order or parenting plan has been provided, we will ensure all necessary Educators are aware the orders are in place.
If an attempt is made to breach orders, the parent/guardian with custody entitlements will be contacted immediately. The police may also be called.
