unique individual, with individual beliefs, interests and ideals that need to be
respected and encouraged to in order to foster Holistic Excellence™.
By providing a supportive and encouraging environment, we believe that the
child's self esteem and self worth will be enhanced.
We understand the importance of embracing the diversity of all children and
their families and as such, will respect all children without discriminating
against their gender, age, race, religion, language or ability. This is achieved
by modelling an anti-bias approach in all our interactions with the children and
their families.
We believe that the early childhood program should be a direct reflection of
the children's interest and needs both individually and as a group. The
curriculum fosters curiosity and thinking through the use of investigations and
projects with the emphasis being on learning how to learn, not the product as an
end result.
All our observations taken on the children aim to help determine their
interest and encourage their developing skills and abilities. We will ensure
that at all times the child’s privacy is respected and that confidentiality is
adhered to.
We will ensure that the children are in a safe and hygienic environment at
all times and will always adhere to occupational health and safety requirements
for our own safety as well as the safety of the team, families and children with
whom we work. We believe that it is our responsibility to role model appropriate
behaviour to children and families at all times.
We understand the importance of community and as such will at all times
encourage the participation of, not only the families attending the service, but
also the wider community as well. Parents/guardians are invited and encouraged
to participate in the program at any time and on any level that they feel
comfortable with. This will assist in building an empowering partnership between
the centre, staff and the families and will help ensure that the children
receive the maximum benefit from being at the centre.
