We believe in the benefits of PLAY!

We are committed to providing a program which caters for each child’s individual interests, strengths and needs. Our educational program is delivered through an intentional, play-based pedagogy aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). Our program continues to develop as we use the relationships children have with their families and communities. We work in partnership with our families to engage their children in learning, and to allow each families knowledge, ideas and culture to shine through.

We encourage children to self aware and hope to establish a sense of lifelong learning for our little people. We use conversations, connections and play as the basis for teaching which involves the children being partners in teaching by seeking out ideas, opinions, thoughts and questions. We support our children to be researchers! We value that each of the children are here with varied learning and play needs, so we foster their strengths to allow for this individuality in their program. We work hard to build a string connection with our family community, which allows us to gather a comprehensive and holistic view of each child.

We know that children learn effectively through play and educators who are diligent in their responsiveness to each child support this ethos. Applying strong intentional teaching practices provide the children with an authentic and meaningful learning environment that challenges, supports and nurtures a child’s development.
