Question: How does the kindergarten manage anaphylaxis risk?
Answer: Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction and the kindergarten takes the risk of anaphylaxis very seriously. In children, the reactions are most commonly to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, cow’s milk, bee or other insect stings, and some medications.
Alexandra & District kindergarten's Anaphylaxis Policy is available in the policies book. This is available to parents on request.
All our staff have current anaphylaxis training certificates.
The aims of this policy are to minimise the risk of children having an anaphylactic reaction whilst at kindergarten, to ensure that appropriate steps are taken should an anaphylactic reaction occur and to raise the community’s awareness of anaphylaxis and its management.
Parents/carers of at risk children should inform staff of their child’s allergies prior to commencement at the kindergarten. Staff will work in collaboration with parents/carers to establish appropriate strategies to minimise the risk of an allergic reaction occurring whilst at kindergarten.
Children at risk of anaphylaxis are not permitted to attend the kindergarten without the child’s anaphylaxis medical management plan and epipen.
Question: How does the kinder communicate with parents?
Answer: We support close collaboration and communication between kindergarten and home. The educators are available for informal chats on a daily basis and meetings can be arranged with your child's teacher at any time throughout the year.
Kinder newsletters are distributed fortnightly (via email and posted on the website). The newsletters include information about special events, important dates, reminders and information about current happenings at kinder.
Program information, messages and reminders are communicated on a notice board on the verandah. Each child has a pocket at kindergarten where notices and newsletters are placed.
Questions: How can I get involved in my child's kindergarten?
Answer: There are numerous ways to get involved in your child's kindergarten, and all of them are appreciated! You can join the Committee, you can participate in the social and fundraising events, you can come in to the kinder and share your 'special skill' or just come in and help during the session.
