Open communication, community connection and a shared understanding of each child&#8217;s strengths and needs underpin the kindergarten experience and should form part of the decision regarding which kindergarten or long day care to choose.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We encourage all parents and carers to attend Open Days to find a kindergarten or long day care that suits their child&#8217;s needs. All of Shine Bright&#8217;s 44 services have an Open Day on Wednesday 20 May that we hope you will embrace,&#8221; Belinda said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have 42 kindergartens across central and northern Victoria, as well as two Long Day Care centres in Bendigo and Charlton which have integrated kindergarten programs within their daily schedules.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our focus is on creating environments where children feel they belong, where their voices are heard giving them agency, and where learning is joyful, purposeful and deeply engaging.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When children are supported to shine in their early years, the benefits extend far beyond their early years learning &#8211; into schools, communities and their future lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visit the Shine Bright website to find a kindergarten or Long Day Care near you which you can visit on Open Day, 20 May, from 9.00am until 11.30am.
