With Playgroup, Photo Week Is Always Fun!
The Playgroup Experience
Playgroup aims for a fun, stress-free and relaxed time during photo week. We know that the kids enjoy it more as a result and we always try to minimise the impact on daily routine as best we can to keep the staff happy too. We know that it does throw a “spanner in the works” for some, and whilst we empathise, we’ll also go to great lengths to accommodate everyone.
Playgroup Stays In Touch For Every Step.
In the weeks leading up to photo week, we’ll coordinate with you and your team about details such as class lists and posters for your centre to help raise awareness for your families. We’ll work together with you to determine factors such as the appropriate number of days to attend your centre and on what days each child will be taken. These days are then sent through to you to be printed out for each class, allowing parents to know their allocated day and giving everyone enough time to coordinate outfits and haircuts. These lists are completely customisable and we’ll make every attempt to accommodate individual circumstances with regard to changes in days, and also to give larger families the opportunity to have their sibling photos taken together on the days that are best suited to them.
Playgroup Makes Last Minute Changes Easy.
Understandably there will be requests to have children taken on days other than the one they are originally allocated, and we’ll happily accommodate these requests as circumstances arise. Please understand that we may also make a request to have a child’s photos retaken during photo week if we are not completely satisfied for whatever reason with the result, and that we ask for your patience and understanding should we need to make such a request. If this should become necessary, we will inform the child’s room leader and/or carers so that they can properly advise family members. Additionally, we do kindly ask that parents send in their child’s photo clothes for the week in case we encounter any changes that prevent us from photographing someone on their allocated day.
Playgroup Always Take Sibling Photos At No Extra Cost.
We will make every reasonable effort to capture siblings together and we include these in the online galleries and photo packages as a replacement for one or more of the 10 individual poses included in each set. We welcome older or younger siblings brought in to be included in the sibling photo. We will also take cousins who attend the centre together as well as friends upon request and subject to prior notification.
Less Paperwork + Less Headaches = More Smiles
Prior to photo week, we will be in contact with your centre to provide a document that will allow us to reach out to your families electronically. This way, flyers are no longer required to notify parents of photo week and your families are less likely to remain unaware or forget. Playgroup will still provide your centre with a poster containing all the important details, just in case some parents aren’t able to be reached by email.
Playgroup Allows Purchasing Year-Round.
The online store is accessible through each family’s own individual gallery and they can purchase a variety of different photo products which will be shipped directly to the address they provide at check-out. Please be aware however that any print orders made through our online store will incur a $9 flat postage fee. The online store offers a variety of prints & products including large, wrapped edge canvas’.
Playgroup Delivers Fast & Friendly
After galleries have gone live, Playgroup will strive to deliver your family’s purchases within 21 business days to the centre. These galleries will remain active to allow everyone the opportunity to purchase seasonal products when they become available.
