    The first step to enrolling is to complete a waitlist form which can be downloaded from the contact us section of the website. Once we receive your waitlist application, we will contact you to discuss availability and book a tour of the centre. During the tour we will discuss all aspects of our service and answer any questions you may have. Providing there is availability you can then enrol with the centre by completing the relevant enrolment forms. Once we receive the completed enrolment forms and bond, we will then confirm your place is secure.

    We encourage families to book in play sessions with us prior to their child’s first day at Go Bananas Early Learning Centre. These play sessions last for around an hour at a time and are a great opportunity for parents to talk with the educators, and for the children to explore their new environment with the security of Mum or Dad close by. This is beneficial for everyone as we establish a relationship based on trust and open communication.

    The enrolment process through “My Family Lounge” requires a PC computer and will not work on a mobile phone or tablet.

    A new enrolment through the My Family Lounge is required for each childcare service. However, you can use the same email address and password, in order to link it to our service you will need to access the portal via our website.
