Making Your Little One’s Experience Enjoyable at Cove Early Learning
We understand that starting at a new childcare centre is a big step for both children and families.
That’s why we prioritise meaningful orientations before enrolment begins. This gives you the opportunity to meet your child’s educators, explore their new room, and become familiar with the environment, helping to ensure a smoother, happier start to their Cove Early Learning journey.
To keep you closely connected, we provide secure login details for OWNA, a trusted app that lets you see the wonderful learning experiences your child engages in every day. Through OWNA, you can view photos, check what your child eats, monitor their sleep patterns, and communicate directly with educators. This transparent connection supports your child’s growth and development and strengthens our partnership with families.
As part of welcoming your child into our community, we provide as part of our enrolment pack a Cove Early Learning t-shirt, hat, and wet bag, practical items designed for daily fun and comfort.
Throughout the year, we host many special events where parents, grandparents, extended family, and friends are warmly invited to join us. These celebrations mark every little milestone, creating joyful memories and reinforcing the strong community spirit at Cove Early Learning.
