Our Philosophy
This is the philosophy we live, learn and teach by. Central to our philosophy are the concepts of Being, Belonging and Becoming. Our intentional program supports each child as the person they are, understanding and connecting with their sense of self and supporting their development as they grow and achieve.
Optimal learning will occur when children are in a safe, warm, caring, inviting and stimulating environment
Children should have the opportunity to explore in a natural environment
Sensory opportunities support learning in young children, especially their wellbeing
Through risk taking and independence, children learn resilience, develop a higher self-esteem and become more creative capable learners
A balanced curriculum allows the whole child to develop, therefore children should be immersed in literacy, STEM, the arts, physical play and humanities
Continual reflection and learning provides a contemporary and relevant program for the children and families
Each child is individual and intentional teaching needs to cater for their skills and learning styles
Families are paramount in working with the staff to create a developmentally appropriate program for each child
Learning for life starts in early childhood and children should be involved in caring for their environment and themselves, being part of a group, respecting others and learning a range of social skills including self-regulation
The Community play an important part in kindergartens as a means to access other services, teach the children about the world around them, maintain a place which meets the needs of its users and support transitions for children
The program should contain a mixture of indoor/outdoor play, active/passive times, open and closed ended activities, opportunities to be in a small group, by themselves and with the whole group and have many opportunities for exploration, choice, decision making and free play
