Our Children

In relation to children we believe:

  • Children are capable and resourceful learners who are active contributors to their own learning
  • Children need to be valued as individuals, within the context of their family and their community.
  • Children can develop confidence and positive self-esteem through a supportive and secure environment.
  • Children are exposed to and are in a sustainable environment that will seek to awaken in each child an appreciation of their natural surroundings and its resources.

Therefore we:

  • Implement a play based/child-centred program based upon the principles outlined in the NSW curriculum framework and the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) – ‘Belonging, Being & Becoming’
  • Strive to empower children, by using their thoughts and ideas to develop the program
  • Strive to empower children, by using their thoughts and ideas to develop the program
  • Promote each child’s confidence and positive self-worth through a range of provisions, experiences and opportunities that build upon their understandings, skills, values and sensitivities and promote success
  • Implement an inclusive approach to positively support children’s growth of identity, self-esteem and critical thinking
  • Encourage each child to reach their full potential in accordance with their individual ability.
  • Provide experiences and an environment that fosters children to become environmentally friendly and strengthen children’s connectedness to their surroundings.
