“If a child cant learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn”

Ignacio Estrado

Passionately professional

We believe that your child is a capable learner, we empower children to be competent decision-makers by creating a child centred curriculum. Educators foster children’s growth and development by building on children’s interest, needs and strengths within a safe and caring environment. Our service provides a flexible and unhurried routine that allows for children to make choices about decisions that affect them while educators support children’s independence, self help and agency.

Everyone matters

Our educators initiate warm, trusting and reciprocal relationships with children, families and communities. Educators support children to build positive relationships through social competence, and the ability to interact with others with care, empathy and respect. We ensure communication is supportive, respectful and responsive. Our service practices many forms of communication and are inclusive to all families needs. We build strong, collaborative relationships with families and encourage you to share information and experiences that can be used to support children’s learning and wellbeing.

Loving environment

We use our environment as the third teacher. Creating an open-ended environment where children can learn as they discover, create, improvise and imagine. We endeavour to ensure children understand the importance of their world around them by providing a variety of mediums; processed, natural and recycled materials. Our educators encourage sustainable practices. We see ourselves as a part of your community we offer our setting as a hub for families and support children to be active participants in their local community through excursions.

Children’s safety first

As responsive educators, our philosophy allows children to initiate and direct their own play with the support of interested and responsive educators who recognise spontaneous teachable moments and use them to build on your child’s learning. Our centre cook supports all children’s dietary needs such as allergies and cultural preferences. We understand children’s emerging language may affect their behaviour. We look out for each child’s needs and support children to treat others with care, empathy and respect. Our children learn a lot from messy play, but our centre is pristine as we keep a strict cleaning schedule.
