Family-Centred Approach and Inclusive Education

Valuing Families

Families are the first and most important educators, integral to every child’s learning journey. We welcome and celebrate the diversity of families within our community, fostering an inclusive environment where every family feels valued and supported.

Collaborative Communication

Through clear communication and collaboration, we work with families to support each child’s progress and goals, ensuring their learning journey is meaningful and aligned with their needs. This partnership, reinforced through regular updates and open dialogue, creates a strong foundation for each child’s development.

Celebrating Diversity

Our commitment to inclusivity means that we adapt to the unique needs of each family, celebrating diverse cultures and backgrounds. Every family brings valuable insights and strengths to our community, and we strive to create a space where all families feel welcomed and involved.

Play-Based Learning

Learning Through Play

Children learn best when actively engaged in play. Inspired by The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia v2.0 and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, our curriculum encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

Empowering Exploration

Open-ended activities let children explore their interests, learn new skills at their own pace, and confidently face new challenges - helping them self-motive and believe in their abilities.

Intentional Teaching

Our educators structure activities to meet each child’s unique needs, ensuring every learning experience is meaningful and developmentally aligned.

Respecting Our Environment

Connecting with Nature

Outdoor play and interaction with nature are central to our approach, offering children opportunities to explore the natural world and develop an appreciation for it.

Promoting Sustainable Practices

We encourage sustainable practices that help children connect with their community and develop an understanding of how their actions impact the environment, teaching them to be responsible and respectful of the world around them.
