Our Service - St Augustine's Long Day Care
Located in a peaceful setting, and featuring an expansive outdoor play area, St Augustine's provides children with a unique learning environment that encourages creativity and exploration. We believe each child is unique and learns differently, so our educators spend time getting to know each child and family so we can create programs that reflect the way they will socialise, learn and grow.

Overview:
An Educator in a long day care centre plays a crucial role in the early development and education of young children. They are responsible for creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that supports children's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth.

Create daily and weekly activity plans that cater to the developmental needs and interests of the children. Incorporate play-based learning activities that promote curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Childcare and Supervision:
Ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children in your care. Provide close supervision during activities, meals, and rest times. Attend to the individual needs of each child, including feeding, diapering, and comforting. Learning Environment:
