We are committed to providing a developmental and educational program, which caters for each child’s individual needs, abilities and interests. Our program will continue to develop as we work in partnership with parents, to ensure each child’s knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities and interests are the foundation of the program.
We encourage children to be responsible for their own learning through choices in experiences, interests and routine. We use conversations, actions and play as the basis for teaching and seek out children’s ideas, opinions, thoughts and questions. All Educators will promote independence and self-help skills by assisting within routines.
Our Educators apply intentional teaching practices providing the children with an authentic and meaningful learning environment that challenges, supports and nurtures a child’s development. We also involve the children in interest based projects to further enhance their learning and knowledge.
Educators will create a range of short and long-term goals for your child that they will incorporate into the program and will observe your child’s learning so they can build on, plan, reflect and report on the next learning steps for your child. They will do this by listening, observing and talking to your child. Knowing your child as an individual and building up a relationship with your family is critical for curriculum planning and development. While your child attends our service, our educators will keep written documentation on their learning to assist them too individually and appropriately plan for your child’s participation.
Educators value family input and strongly encourage communication between families and educators to ensure continuity in what we are delivering to your child.
and develops their needs, interests and abilities. To cater for this, your child will gradually transition to the next room, where their skills and development can be extended.
Our transitioning procedure includes communication with families and involves a careful assessment of your child to ensure they are ready for the next step. This process also includes visits to the new room to build familiarity and ensure a smooth transition.
