Ongoing communication among professionals involved in your child’s day enhances your child’s educational and childcare experience. To best serve your child’s needs, it is necessary that staff from High Birch Child Care and the schools exchange information regularly. The purpose is to create a coordinated approach to support the interests, strengths and safety needs of your child. Your consent will give permission for the exchange of information between the Child Care Centre and the school. Please find attached the Information Sharing Form and send it back to me before September 9, 2021.
