Here is the land, here is the sky, here are my friends and here am I. We thank the Bidjigal people for the lands in which we learn and play. Hands up, hands down we’re on the Bidjigal ground.
Children are heard and part of our educational program and curriculum. Our team creates a brave and trusting environment to support children to develop a strong sense of identity. We provide an inclusive and diverse learning space where children are valued, supported and their rights are acknowledged and respected.
Children and staff create warm and welcoming learning spaces. Children are free to be curious, engage and challenge their abilities in a sustainable and inclusive environment. Our preschool caters for individual and group abilities and facilitates freedom of choice alongside a routine that is open ended, where indoor and outdoor play is celebrated throughout the day.
Relationships are the foundation of our values and establish a strong sense of wellbeing. Educators play alongside children and have fun. Wellbeing is promoted through fun, interactive and intentional play. Children value strong friendships and relationships as indicators of connection to community and wellbeing.
Our play environment supports children to develop curiosity, inquiry and wonder of the natural world and built play spaces. Having fun is the most important part of play and learning. It is through positive experiences that children foster a trusting and meaningful relationship with their peers and educators. Our warm and inviting spaces invite children to investigate and create bravely and be at one with themselves and their community.
We have created a program that supports communication in different forms. It is inclusive of children’s strengths and differences which are incorporated into our program. Our program is flexible, and children learn through structured and unstructured free play. Our team is transparent and honest with children and families and communication is a key component to maintaining trusting and meaningful partnerships with all stakeholders. Our preschool has multiple resources that support children to gain understanding of their world, problem solve and advocate their thoughts and feelings.
Our preschool embodies inclusion, diversity and play in all that we do.
