Our Philosophy

  • We believe the early years of childhood are the most significant of learning; parents and caregivers play an important role in influencing and guiding this learning.
  • We believe that each and every child deserves the highest quality care from loving caregivers who provide a stimulating program of experiences designed to extend their individual development.
  • We recognize that each child is unique and our programs are designed to reflect the individual needs of each and every child.
  • We believe that child care staff and families should aim to develop a relationship based on trust and mutual understanding, in order to provide quality care for each child.
  • We are committed to equal opportunity principles for all children, regardless of race, gender, family background or ability.
  • We value and respect other cultures and believe we can enrich children’s lives by teaching them to respect and value each other as individuals with different tastes, beliefs, cultures and abilities.
  • We recognize and value the knowledge and commitment of the staff and fully support their professional development.
  • We are committed to providing high quality care and we support the National Child Care Accreditation System.
