Our Directors are happy to answer any of your questions, please call us any time, or drop in for a tour of our lovely centre.
We are lucky enough to have educators that have a shared passion and aligned personal philosophy to our centre. Each educator brings their own wealth of experience, knowledge and qualifications to each day. Our staffing arrangements exceed the necessary requirements, enhancing childrens experiences.
Our staff are fully qualified, and each educator also holds a first aid certificate with Asthma and Anaphylaxis and CPR training yearly. Our staffing retention is to be commended with the majority of our team being at our centre for over 5 years.
We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, which values holistic, open-ended, play based learning that enables life-long learning dispositions. We value being outside and learning through nature and loose parts exploration. Our curriculum is underpinned by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), with an importance placed on the child's Being, Becoming, and Belonging. Our principles and practises enable our team to work effectively with each other, and collaboratively with the children, enabling the children to lead their own learning through their interests. an emphasis is placed on childrens' cultural competency and background knowledge.
We pride ourselves on embedding culture within our daily practices, and are lucky to be a part of the ELLA program, which is a department initiative allowing our Pre - School children the opportunity to learn a second language.
We consider ourselves intentional teachers with a philosophy that values the rights of the child, and belief that children have agency, and learn the most through play in a safe, secure and nurturing environment. Family Input is something we consider to be very important, and it is only through these partnerships we can truly work together to create a quality and holistic play and learning space.
