|
• encouraging children to feel confident about themselves.
• having a stable staff, using various teaching methods and by creating a caring, loving environment.
We appreciate parent involvement in the Centre and welcome opportunities to share ideas and experiences. If you feel you would like to contribute, please do not hesitate to ask.

Key Points
• The early years are critical in each individuals development and how they achieve in the rest of their life.
• Each child is seen as a unique and special person.
• The opportunity to play and the use of it as a tool for learning is seen as a critical component of our approach to working with young children.
• Creating opportunities for children to capable, resourceful and resilient are essential in building strong independent children.
• A connectedness with parents and family is important in how we all work together for the benefit of each child.

Philosophy |
|
• cut out and paste, and acquire other skills to help develop creativity.
• dramatise the family and adult world through role-play and the use of incidental themes.
experience a wide range of textural and sensory activities.
enjoy and participate in outdoor activities as well as story-time and music.
• enjoy quiet times of concentration with books, puzzles and manipulative games.
We will provide opportunities for your child to build a positive selfimage.
The cooperation of parents and our staff in this task, by guiding the child to develop at their own rate and by understanding that your child will need to adjust to a variety of situations and people, is a vital part of the educational aspect of our Centre.
We will do this by:
• setting limits, providing choices, encouraging conversation and giving responsibilities.
• valuing what each child achieves and by setting an example of self-control.
• by valuing life and the world around us.
• by encouraging children to test their ideas, to experience success and failure, to question, to describe, to observe and to express their feelings.

We understand that...
• Children attend in a variety of care options- some are here for three days a week, some two and others are only for one day.
• There are children attending from many different backgrounds- different family types and different ethnic groups- all are valued and made to feel part of our extended family.
• Admire what they bring home. Don’ t be too concerned if they don’ t want to talk – they may be just too tired.
• Don’ t worry if they don’ t bring home art or craft work- they have been involved in other things during the day that they just never got around to doing some.
• Our online daily journal“ KindyHub” is a great way to catch up on the days happenings and will provide a starting point for discussions at home. this will usually include any relevant photos. Any photos of your child will be found on your child’ s online digital portfolio.
