Bus service 

Your child may be able to access the Callington Primary School bus service from Kanmantoo. Approval is required from us and the school and is subject to availability. Please speak to a member of our staff or to a Callington Primary School staff member to learn more.

Additional information

Our staff are all internationally accredited Marte Meo practitioners. Marte Meo is a world renowned program that we use to support your child's well-being. We focus on your child's needs, support their emotional and social development and encourage them to use their inner strength.

The Marte Meo program supports the education department's Early Years Learning Framework.

Through our kindy your family can access the services of a wellbeing officer. The wellbeing officer can provide you with support, information and assistance across a wide range of parenting, financial and family issues. This is a free service.

You will also have access to our children's literacy kits and parent library. A range of literacy kits, books and videos are available for borrowing and are located above the children's lockers and near the back door. Please complete the borrowing book whenever you borrow an item.

Occasional care

Occasional care is for children under school age who aren’t in any other early childhood education and care programs, such as preschool, child care or family day care. It promotes young children’s development by giving them access to high-quality early childhood education.

It may help parents to take part in a range of activities including non-work and casual work commitments.

Priority of access

The education department has a priority of access policy to decide who can get into occasional care. This might mean that some families get more sessions than others.
