Welcome
| PHILOSOPHY OF THE KINDERGARTEN |
Staff at our centre strive for excellence and aim to provide the best possible experience for all the children and families. The curriculum is planned to meet the needs of individuals as well as the needs of the larger group. All aspects of the curriculum are evaluated regularly and information on this planning and evaluation is provided to parents and the community.
We believe in:
Respecting each person as an individual - valuing background, cultures and prior life experiences, acknowledging individuals rights, opinions, abilities and development.
Fostering caring and responsible behaviour - modelling a commitment to the wellbeing and development of each other, the community and the environment through promoting optimistic, positive language and behaviour, co-operation, sharing and positive relationships.
Guiding behaviour in a positive manner - facilitating self control, making appropriate choices, encouraging negotiation and democracy, a non-violent and non-competitive environment and as global citizens - educating for acceptance of diversity and peace.
Developing a committed responsible professional staff team - with defined goals and directions, a sound knowledge base, a commitment to personal growth, ongoing learning and evaluation and information sharing.
