Kinder Duty

Q: Kinder Duty

What is Kinder Duty? We really appreciate parents helping us with our sessions and working with the children. Helping on Kinder Duty involves staying at pre-school for the session and assisting the children at particular activities. We may ask you to work with the children at an activity that requires adult supervision, help read stories or assist with puzzles. Shortly before we eat we ask you to help tidy up so we can prepare for the children’s morning/afternoon tea or lunch. We will give you more details on the day. Who can help on Kinder Duty? We require one parent to stay on at each session and ask that, where possible, parents place their name on the roster once per term. Grandparents, aunts and uncles are also welcome to help. Am I covered by Insurance whilst on Kinder Duty? When helping out at the kinder for any reason, volunteers need to sign in and out of the volunteers register (located on the sign-in trolley) for insurance purposes. Can I bring younger siblings with me when I am on Kinder Duty? Toddlers/siblings are welcome when parents are on duty, provided you understand that you are totally responsible for them. Any non-kinder children also need to be signed in and out. We really appreciate your help and the children think it’s so special having you stay. It is a great opportunity to see your child in the kinder environment and meet some of their friends.
