what to bring
At Dinky Di Terrigal Beach, we are committed to supporting your child’s independence and life skills development. To aid in this, we ask you to pack a lunch box for your child each day, so they can begin to practice independently managing their food. We will provide Morning and afternoon tea, so you are only required to pack an item for lunch.
To ensure your child’s rest and relaxation needs are met, could you please provide a bottom sheet and a top sheet- cot sheet size fits our beds well. If you would like, you can also include a blanket in the cooler months.
If your child has a special comfort item or dummy, please provide this, labelled. Dummies will be stored in individual dummy pots to maintain health and hygiene requirements.
We enjoy a range of different sensory exploration activities and love to be creative. Sometimes this means we get a little wet or messy! Can you please provide your child with a couple of changes of clothes and underwear, just in case.
We will provide your child with cool drinks throughout the day, morning and afternoon tea, a hat and sunscreen.

A Word From Our Centre Director
“In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn”.
I believe in the curiosity approach to children as this aims to give children back their freedom by igniting their natural curiosity and imagination. It aims to create “thinkers and doers” by putting the child at the centre of their own development and education.
Learning through play children learn simple life skills such as making choices for themselves as an individual, doing this also gives the children the opportunity to express themselves freely.
I strongly believe that all children are unique individuals, who each has their own temperament and learning style, I aim to provide opportunities for all children in my care to reach their full potential, whatever that will be while fostering each child’s development and providing them with the best possible opportunities in life, that they will strive as our future leaders and reach their full potentials.
