Our Philosophy
- To encourage and nurture children to explore, create, wonder and grow in a safe and caring environment.
- To offer a holistic approach to care, which is flexible and responsive to the needs of the individual child, the family, our staff and our community.
- To provide a learning environment where children feel safe, secure and accepted without prejudice.
- To encourage partnerships with families. To respect the values and beliefs of all families and the primary role of parents as care-givers.
- To provide play experiences that enhance decision making, mastery of skills and the discovery of his/her unique self. To focus on what is learned through the process and provide a range of experiences that are challenging but achievable.
- To listen and observe children at play and discover their special interests and talents so that we can plan a range of learning experiences that allow each child to pursue these interests, both through individual activities and group projects.
- To acknowledge the qualifications of our staff, their importance and to support their efforts for continual professional development. To draw inspiration from a range of approaches to early childhood development and encourage staff to continually explore and implement best practice where research supports the benefits.
- To recognise that we live in a global community and believe that by being responsible members of our local community, our actions can have a far reaching impact.
