Maylands CaLDEYLink
In 2022 we had a very successful year at the Maylands
Multicultural Playgroup, at Maylands Peninsula
Primary School. Last year we received "Overall Best
Practice" for our centre and program and we
presented at the annual WA KindiLink/CaLDEYLink
conference.
We were proud to see 17 of our students well
prepared to enter Kindergarten this year with some
staying at Maylands and others going to schools
around the metro area.
We continue to look for new families who speak little
or no English to join CaLDEYLink in a relaxed setting
that is both social and informative. We strongly
encourage families to speak in their home language to
their children at the centre, while our facilitators
provide the resources and English component to
encourage a language rich experience.
Our main priority is building solid language
foundations for children aged birth to four. The
program uses Enriched Caregiving, Conversational
Reading and Learning Games to promote the use of
language to help children engage, understand and
express their ideas and emotions.
These social interactions and learning games provide
children with multiple tools and skills when starting
Kindergarten.
If you would like to join in or know families who would
be interested you can collect a form from the school
office, email us or come and visit us at CaLDEYLink on
a Monday or Tuesday, 9am - 12pm, during the school
term.
We look forward to having you join us at Maylands CaLDEYLink.
