Centre Philosophy

The Centre provides a warm, nurturing, secure and caring environment, which aims to meet the individual needs of your child.

Staff work as partners with parents, but parents are the ultimate decision makers in planning and setting goals for their children.  The Centres guiding principle is one of an open door policy where parents are welcome to share in the Centre activities, visit at any time and discuss with the Director or staff any queries which may arise from time to time.

We encourage participants from the wider community in our programs.

Children are active learners, creating knowledge and learning through their daily experiences with materials and people.  Every child is an individual, with unique strengths, interests, personality and approach to learning.

We believe that through play activities, children will develop the skills to become self confident, self motivated and self disciplined.

Independence is fostered and language, cognitive, motor, self help and social skills are developed in settings designed for children and supported by responsive adults.

Children will have the opportunity to grow at their own pace and develop a respect for others in a tolerant and non sexist environment.

We will respect each child’s cultural heritage and values by including a multicultural and non bias curriculum, which presents all children with a wide variety of learning experiences.

Positive discipline places emphasis on preventing problems by having age appropriate expectations, providing interactive adult monitoring and supervision.  Appropriate behaviour is fostered by helping children learn to control their behaviour and work out conflicts with others.

Overall, caring for young children is an immense responsibility we share with parents.  We regard this role as very important, because we, in partnership with parents are shaping and mounding children for the future.
