Resources for our Enrolled Families

Child Care Subsidy (CCS) Fact Sheet

We encourage our families to become familiar with the Child Care Subsidy as early as possible in their enrolment process. You can download our Fact Sheet but we strongly encourage our families to ensure they go straight to the source by visiting the Human Services website to learn more about CCS.

Absences & Holidays Fact Sheet

We encourage all families to familiarise themselves with the information relating to absences and holidays, particularly in relation to how these relate to CCS entitlements. 

Nutrition, Health & Well-being at SA Montessori

In 2024 we thoroughly revised our Nutrition Policy and Eating at SA Montessori guide as a result of an extensive collaboration between parents, educators and community resources. We encourage you to read these resources to understand our principles and practices in relation to nutrition and holistic well-being.

Medical Action Plans

If your child has an Asthma, an allergy or other medical needs you will need a medical professional to complete an action plan authorising staff members to take action (beyond standard first aid treatment) and/or administer medication. 
If your child has an allergy – including Anaphylaxis – please click the top button to the right to download the relevant action plan.

If your child has Asthma, or require an Individual First Aid Plan for another medical/physical condition, please visit the Health Care Plans link.
Please note that an Individual First Aid Plan (or equivalent) will be required even if your child’s medical needs are short-term (such as a course of antibiotics) as our team members are not authorised to administer any medication without specific instructions from a medical professional.

Parenting SA Guides

The Government of South Australia has developed a range of helpful and informative Parenting Guides that are highly valuable for families. These cover a broad range of topics, and assist parents with supporting newborn babies all the way through to teenagers. The guides are available in many languages, to ensure inclusion and accessibility for families from diverse backgrounds. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we do not tend to keep printed copies of these Parenting Guides on site, as we encourage families to access the digital versions. Printed copies can be sourced through your centre by special request. 

Illness Policy

Our Illness Policy outlines the procedures that our centres follow, and that parents are required to comply with, to maintain our duty of care to our children and our obligation to provide a safe workplace environment for our educators. We thank all of our families for their cooperation and support.

Child Protection Policy

Our staff members, contractors and volunteers are mandated reporters and we are committed to providing safe environments for children and upholding our obligations to report harm or risk of harm. We invite families to read the Child Protection Policy that guides our standards and procedures in relation to this. 

Immunisation Policy

Our Immunisation Policy outlines the connection between the National Immunisation Schedule and enrolment. This is an important Policy for families and we ask all parents and guardians to please familiarise themselves with these requirements. To read our other Policies please ask your centre Director where the Policy Folder is kept.

Sun Protection Policy

From the 1st May you will notice a change in practice in the classrooms as we no longer require children to wear hats or sunscreen for outdoor play unless the UV rating is 3 or above. This is in line with the recommendations of the Cancer Council, as explained in our Sun Protection Policy. To read our other Policies please ask your centre Director where the Policy Folder is kept.

Qik Kids Kiosk 

For information about how to use our digital sign in and out program – QikKids Kiosk – please download this document. We also have a version available for families with English as a second language (ESL) which features several translations that were helpfully developed by parents and educators from SA Montessori to reflect the instructions as closely as possible. 

Social Media ‘Opt Out’ Form 

On your child’s Enrolment Form all families are invited to give consent (or not) for their child to feature in photographs that are used by SA Montessori for a range of different purposes. If you would like to withdraw consent for your child to appear in social media / blog posts please return the attached form.  

Introducing ‘LoveHeart’ AI
