Welcome to Playtime at Port!
We are so excited to welcome you and your family to Playtime at Port!
Starting early learning is an exciting milestone, and we want to make the transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible for both you and your child. To help you feel informed, prepared and confident, we have brought together a collection of helpful documents, guides and resources, all conveniently available in one place. As part of our commitment to sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint, we are moving towards digital resources wherever possible. Providing these documents online means families can conveniently access the most up-to-date information whenever they need it, while helping us reduce unnecessary printing and paper waste. Of course, we understand that digital access doesn’t suit everyone, so printed copies are always available upon request from your Centre Director.
Explore and download the resources below to help you and your child enjoy a smooth and happy beginning at Playtime at Port! 💚
