Early Learning Care Program:
We provide a safe, happy and stimulating environment for the children.

We foster multiculturalism in our society. The centre respects the cultural and religious practices of all families and strives to accommodate these, where appropriate.

All children are encouraged to perform to their maximum potential and in turn acquire skills for the successful progression to the next stage of development.

We utilise child resource agencies and implement individual programs, to support the development of children with additional needs.

We encourage all children to participate in challenging, stimulating, age-related and achievable experiences that develop feelings of positive self-esteem and self worth.

Children’s interests and abilities drive the development of programs.

We believe children learn through play. The program devotes large blocks of time each day, for child initiated and directed play.

Individual and small group experiences occur more frequently than whole group experiences.

We plan developmentally appropriate programs that reflect our Centre’s philosophy and goals, while focusing on a holistic approach to each individual child’s development.

Children are encouraged to become independent learners, through play, exploration, enquiry and reflection.

Cyclical, individual and group observations are taken of the children and a variety of formats are used to record and collate the information. The Qualified staff utilise this information to devise objectives and activities for the individual and room programs.

Centre programs present children with an un-biased, non-stereotypical and global perspective in their learning experiences.

All written documents are free for children’s parents to view. Individual meetings are held to allow parents to discuss their child’s progress.

Children’s Progress Reports are distributed to parents every four months.

Consistent and predictable routines, reduces stress and provides children with a sense of security and belonging in their environment.

Discussions encourage children to reflect on their learning, experiences and interactions.

Children are encouraged to verbalise emotions, thoughts and feelings.

Staff praise, model and reinforce appropriate behaviours amongst children.
