Unenrolled children policy.
How we manage situations involving children who are not currently enrolled at the centre.
Aim: To ensure that educators and the service are only responsible for children who are
enrolled at our service to meet our legal requirements and child/staff ratios.
Implementation
On occasion, children who are not enrolled at our service may be present at the service.
An example of this is when families come to pick up an enrolled child and they bring their other children with them.
At times like this, the children who are not enrolled at the service are the responsibility of the adult that brought them to the service.
We ask these adults to keep unenrolled children off any equipment at the service, and for the child to be accompanied by the adult at all times.
Should a child who is not enrolled at the service attend an excursion with the service, they may only attend should the adult to child ratio not be compromised for enrolled children.
Any child that is enrolled at the service on a temporary basis will be included in the educator/child ratios.
