Educational Philosophy
We believe the foundations laid in the early childhood years are crucial to a child’s being, belonging and becoming. We have developed educationally appropriate programs that support the Early Years Learning Framework and Kindergarten Guidelines while acknowledging the importance of learning through play.
It is our strong belief that each child is given the opportunity to evolve and develop in an environment which supports and develops their individualism as well as nurturing their strengths, aspirations and sense of self.
It is our aim to provide an open and friendly environment where all parents/educators and children feel accepted and wanted regardless of culture, religious and family beliefs, socio-economic status, gender or abilities.
- We believe in closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians through awareness and education.
- We value what each individual has to offer to our service and encourage all to share the same.
- Recognise the family unit as the primary educators in a child’s life and value the role of this unit in the service program and policy decisions.
- Offer equal opportunities to access programs, resources and activities without prejudice to all children.
- Offer to all children equal access to whatever it is they require, developing and growing in a way that is meaningful to them and meets their needs, abilities, talents and special requirements.
- Committed to the care of all children and therefore maintain strong links with the wider community to ensure that the care we provide is based on current early childhood trends and facts.
- Value the diversity of Australian culture and actively encourage outside influences and ideas.
- Aim to make the transition from home to service as smooth and meaningful as possible for both child and parent/guardian.
- We aim to communicate on varying levels with all parents about their child’s progress and accomplishments.
- We believe in open lines of communication based on mutual respect and a desire to promote each child’s learning and well-being.
