Childcare Centre FAQs

What types of activities are involved in each class?

We teach children a variety of essential skills for their motor development, but we do it in a fun way through activities involving music, drama, dance and sport skills. We have 22 differently themed classes to make lessons exciting each week. The children will learn also about basic academic concepts as well so it is a complete program proving a bit of everything in the early years of growth and development.

How are you different to competitors?

Funtastic Creations is owned by The Developing Foundation which is a charity and public benevolent institution whose objectives include education and research into the prevention of developmental delays. This means that we are driven by a vision of ensuring that children have the best opportunity for optimum development. Some of the other ways we are different are outlined below:

Staff are caring employees with a real interest in child development NOT contractors. All carry blue cards and current first aid with CPR.
Our activities are designed by a movement development expert, Dr Melinda Richards and each engage the children through fun in an educational experience.
Extension activities are provided for home.
We publish a parent newsletter each term.
We are a not for profit organisation so all proceeds are used in research and development of programs to assist children achieve optimum development.
Our Fulbright Funtastic Club provides interactive, online activities for children.

How many children attend each session?

In our child care centre classes we usually have between 5 and 15 children although classes generally average around 7 children. Tots classes in child care centres will usually be kept to around 5 children.

What is your refund policy for missed classes?

Where possible we endeavour to run a make up class. However, we only commit to refunds when our instructor is unable to attend a class and is unable to do a make up class. Refunds are normally not given for non attendance at a class or if the class is cancelled by the centre and we cannot arrange a make-up class.

Is this covered by Private Health Insurance?

Some small health insurance companies will provide reimbursement for fees under their preventative healthcare programs. Check with your insurer.
