The Centre\, open from 7.00am - 6.00pm\, Monday to Friday\, caters for children from 22 months\, to 6 years of age.\n&nbs p\;\nServicing both the wider Ryde community as well as people coming into the Ryde area to work and study\, it is conveniently located for parents commuting from Gladesville/Hunters Hill\, Parramatta/Westmead\, Eastwood/C arlingford\, North Shore areas and further afield.\n \;\nThe Centre is located near to a reserve providing a quiet and environmentally rich loca tion. As a point of reference\, it is located on the same street as the Ry de Secondary College\, off Buffalo Road.\n\n \;\n\n\n\n \;\n\nProg rams\nHans &\; Gretel Long Day Kindergarten has adopted the \;Reggi o Emilia Approach \;to guide its programming. The National Curriculum – The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) - is supported by the Reggio Emilia Approach at our Centre. Teachers\, children and their families all contribute to the program\, and children are encouraged to develop skills in problem-solving\, hypothesising\, critical reflection and collaboratio n. The approach views the classroom environment as the 'third teacher'\, a rranged to provide stimulation and provocations that promote children’s learning\, in line with the EYLF.\n \;\nCentral to the EYLF is the con cept that childhood can be conceived as a time of Belonging\, Being and Be coming\, and children are supported in building a sense of identity and we llbeing\; contributing to the wider community\; becoming confident and inv olved learners and effective communicators. Children also learn and develo p in an inclusive environment\, with a focus on the value of a culturally diverse community.\n\nThe French Start Program (commencing in 2018) introd uces children to a second language in an enjoyable and relaxed way. New wo rds and phrases are introduced gradually and reinforced through repetition and song – mirroring the way a child learns his/her first language.&nbs p\;\n \;\nThe Munch and Move program is an initiative from the NSW Hea lth Department and encourages the healthy development of young children th rough fun and play-based experiences. \;\n \;\nHans &\; Gretel Long Day Kindergarten has over 30 years’ experience in successfully tran sitioning children to school. The NSW Department of Education and Training identifies a list of skills that contribute to making this transition suc cessfully. \; Our Program supports the development of these skills\, i ncluding personal/social skills\, language\, physical and mathematical ski lls.\n \;\n\n \;\n\nProfessional Staff\nAll staff employed at the Centre are qualified in childcare or working towards a qualification. The Centre has a Registered Psychologist and Registered Nurse on staff. \; The Centre always aims to maintain staff ratios above the required level.  \;\n\n \;\n\nFees\nFees are extremely competitive and include lun ch\, morning tea\, afternoon tea and a late snack\, \;programmed activ ities\, all resources\, sunscreen\, French Start Program\, and your child' s portfolio.\n\n \;\nAddress: \;27 Malvina Street\, Ryde (close to Ryde Secondary College\, off Buffalo Road)\nPhone: 9809 2164\nEmail:  \;info@hansandgretel.com.au\nWebsite: \;www.hansandgretelkindergarten. com.au\n\n \;\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dev.rydedistrictmums.com.au/wp-content/u ploads/2018/02/Picture-Device-Independent-Bitmap-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Childcare LOCATION:Hans & Gretel Long Day Kindergarten\, 27 Malvina Street\, Ryde\, A ustralia GEO:-33.8115614;151.1201099 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=27 Malvina Street\, Ryde\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Hans & Gretel Long Day Kindergarten:g eo:-33.8115614,151.1201099 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Australia/Sydney X-LIC-LOCATION:Australia/Sydney BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20181007T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1000 TZOFFSETTO:+1100 TZNAME:AEDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20190407T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1100 TZOFFSETTO:+1000 TZNAME:AEST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20191006T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+1000 TZOFFSETTO:+1100 TZNAME:AEDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
