Our Centre

Child Centred

• We promote secure, respectful, reciprocal relationships between children and educators as we believe this is key to strengthening children’s sense of belonging
• We aim for children to develop dispositions for learning as they have fun exploring, take risks, and try new experiences
• Protecting the rights, safety and wellbeing of children is our number one priority and we aim to teach children the skills to keep themselves and others safe

Curriculum

• We follow the child’s voice as we implement a play based emergent curriculum
• Children make choices and are involved in decision making which promotes their sense of autonomy, resilience, independence and interdependence
• Children have access to nurturing educators who act with intentionality, scaffold children’s learning, and provide encouragement and support to children as they navigate their world

Collaboration with Community

• We value the diversity of our community and aim to create a warm inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and respected without discrimination or bias
• We work in collaboration with families to ensure children are cared and educated for in a way that reflects their cultures, expectations, values and beliefs
• Our team works with each other and the local community to share knowledge, engage in professional development and ensure consistency across the service

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

• We believe that the diverse perspectives and ideas of our community are important for promoting ongoing reflection and driving quality improvement
• The Reconciliation Action Plan and Sustainability Plan support us to care for Country as we work towards embedding sustainable practices and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, languages and pedagogies
• Stakeholders are involved in the decision-making process and their feedback is always sought, welcomed and considered
