Philosophy
In Respect to Children We Believe
- Children grow and develop at different rates and this rate is often unrelated to chronological age.
- Play is a child's way of working learning.
- Development of initiative and self reliance is encouraged in an atmosphere of trust and structured freedom. Children learn most effectively when they feel positive about themselves.
- A rich learning environment (one deliberately designed with much to explore and discover.) is essential in helping young children learn basic skills. Concrete and sensory materials are a vital part of this environment.
- Children are naturally curious and eager to learn and they learn best when they are able to follow many of their own interests and desires to learn. Children should have the opportunity to develop holistically.
- As individuals, no child is discriminated against with all staff respecting the values, attitudes and cultural beliefs of all families in the best interests of their children.
Each child regardless of gender, race, religion, physical difference of special need shall have the same opportunities as all children to the best of our ability.
In relation to families
- The Centre should be a welcoming and trusting environment for families.
- The Family unit, which can be represented in many forms, is the basis of our society, therefore needs to be supported and assisted in parental responsibilities and balancing work and family life.
- Family involvement is an integral part of the program and this involvement can be at various levels.
- As the family unit can be represented in many forms and many cultures. Staff need to be aware and sensitive to their differing beliefs.
- We form a link with other families and early childhood professionals and services.
In respect to the community.
- To be advocates on behalf of young children and develop an understanding of the importance of Early Childhood in all peoples lives.
In relation to staff.
- Quality staff is paramount to a quality early childhood program.
- The need to work as a team to create an environment of skill and knowledge in early childhood.
- To create a working environment that is fun and flexible and a high quality service.
In respect to management.
- Develop and maintain a cooperative and professional rapport with management.
