Our Philosophy
Childhood is a time to have fun, to explore the world, and to create and imagine possibilities. Through play, children construct their own learning, can take positive risks and value mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow. Children are curious and capable problem solvers who have the sense of agency and the right to make decisions about themselves and their own learning.
Children have voices that are valued and trusted to express themselves. They have a right to be treated with respect and kindness. Children make decisions about their learning and we share a collaborative partnership with children towards shared learning outcomes. We believe in a holistic approach to co-learning alongside each child.
As educators we foster a deep respect and care for our world. We role model sustainable and respectful practices. We aspire to be safe, supportive and inclusive advocates for children. Our passionate educators inspire a love of continual learning and growth that can last a lifetime. Our service respects and embraces the diversity of each child. We value families, their beliefs, cultures and their role as the child’s first teacher. As educators we respect families as active and diverse partners in guiding children’s learning. Children have a right to be treated fairly, to be safe and to live and grow up healthy.
We are committed to providing opportunities for children to learn about, acknowledge and respect the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We embed into our Preschool Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, to provide children a more accurate and richer understanding of Australia’s history and culture. We believe that connections with our local Wiradjuri community will build relationships and encourage children to understand how we got to where we are today. Those relationships will be how we move forward together. We are about reconciliation.
Our preschool Educators are committed advocates who promote equity, fairness, and justice within our service and the community.
We believe that genuine connections are the foundation for kind, respectful relationships with children, their families and communities. Our Preschool embraces the learning setting as being without boundaries extending out into our immediate community and the wider world around us.
Our Values:
These are our Preschool Values; they guide what we do, how we do it and what we stand for:
Respect; for ourselves, for other peoples, for diversity and for our world
Inclusion; accepting, valuing and embracing differences, strengths and needs within children, families and the community
Integrity; acting fairly, trustfully, honestly and ethically in all that we do
Kindness; towards each other, children, families and community
Inspiration; sharing our passion for learning, innovations, knowledge and humour with children, our colleagues and the broader preschool family
