I love how they incorporate play-based learning, which has helped my child develop social skills and a love for learning.\n\nCommunication is clear, timely and excellent! I receive regular updates about my children\u2019s progress and daily activities, which gives me peace of mind while I&#039;m at work.\n\nI highly recommend Great Beginnings in Gymea to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones.

If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you\u2019ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child\u2019s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p>To finalise your enrolment, you\u2019ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You\u2019ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child\u2019s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/family-information\/how-to-enrol\">Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.<\/a><\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"g8-accordion__item accordion-item\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"g8-accordion__item__header accordion-header\">\n                                            <button class=\"g8-accordion__item__header__button accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4-2\">\n                                                <span class=\"g8-accordion__item__title\">What can I do to help my child prepare for starting care?<\/span>\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-alt-arrow-down\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/button>\n                                        <\/h2>\n                                        <div id=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4-2\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-accordion__item__content g8-block-wysiwyg\">\n                                                <p>Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.<\/p>\n<p>When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child\u2019s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/family-information\/settling-in-program\">Learn more about our Settling-in Program.<\/a><\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <div class=\"g8-accordion__item accordion-item\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"g8-accordion__item__header accordion-header\">\n                                            <button class=\"g8-accordion__item__header__button accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4-3\">\n                                                <span class=\"g8-accordion__item__title\">What should I pack my child for their first day?<\/span>\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-alt-arrow-down\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/button>\n                                        <\/h2>\n                                        <div id=\"flush-collapse-g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4-3\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#g8-accordion_20_66a1bd85647a4\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-accordion__item__content g8-block-wysiwyg\">\n                                                <p>Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook.
