Our brand new Centre at "Dural North", corner of Old Northern and Quarry Rds, has opened on the 9th of January 2012.  Slightly different in organisation to our larger "Dural South" Centre, it is a "short-day" Centre, and caters for children 2-6.  Please click on the Dural North homepage for more information.

 

Thank you for visiting our new website.  Our hope is that you find it way more informative and interactive than our old one, and we hope you check back occasionally to keep track of what we're up to.  You'll note that there is a link from the site to our new facebook page too, which is great way to stay connected with us.

As always, we would welcome any feedback you might have on how to improve what we're doing.  Enjoy!

 

After much discussion, we have finally decided to embrace facebook, and have started a "FIT KIDZ LEARNING CENTRES" page.   

Our intention is to try to use facebook as an extension of our website, and as a forum we can use to communicate online a little more quickly and closely with our team and our Mums and Dads.  We were looking for something in which all of our team could be involved in the management of, so that it’s kept fresh and engaging.  We intend to post photos of our kids during special events like colour days, gardening club, character days, fire engine visits, fathers/mothers day supper etc, and our team going about their work and during team events outside of work too. 

We often refer to Fit Kidz as a family, and it strikes us that Facebook has lots of features that we can use to do a lot of what we are trying to achieve online - to more closely and instantly communicate with each other, from us to our staff, our staff to other staff, Centre to Centre, and us and our staff to you, the parents, our customers.  We can post events and reminders, we can discuss different topics with one another, and we can share photos, videos and information (if we want to!).

We often don't think to post this stuff to our website galleries, and even if we did, how would people know we had?  Facebook enables us to very easily post updates, and then advise all of our interested parties to take a look and engage with it. 

Most parents can't get enough photos of their kids, but we have learned that a few do get a bit worried about facebook.  We have taken a carefully considered decision to leave the Fit Kidz facebook page completely open and accessible to all, and asking parents to give us clearance on that basis, rather than implying any levels of security or privacy that we are unable to properly control, and hence guarantee.  This way nobody gets upset!

Because some parents do have concerns for their privacy and so on, we've given all of our parents the chance to "opt-out", and we'll ensure that photos and other images of their children aren't posted to facebook under any circumstances.  Please let us know if that is your preference, and you haven't already.  If you are a facebook user though, you may still like to "like" our page, so that you can enjoy the updates and Centre happenings, even without photos of your child specifically.

One of the great strengths of Fit Kidz is that we never ever have anything to hide from you as parents, and we’re very happy to provide glimpses "behind-the-scenes", to tell you about Centre happenings and provide another forum for you to communicate with our fabulous staff if you’d like to. 

We hope you enjoy our new facebook page!   Click here to visit:  www.facebook.com/fitkidz
