We are inclusive to all children and families and foster their need for Early Childhood Education.
We believe that children learn through play and encourage choice, respect and a positive feeling about oneself.
We encourage all children to accept and embrace the diversity of our community.
We provide a variety of learning opportunities that build on strengths, ALL levels of development, opportunities for discovery, and current developmental practices.
Our Mission
To provide Quality Early Childhood Education and Care; inclusive to all children, in a nurturing, family centred, community based environment where current strategies for child development are practiced.
Inclusion
We embrace inclusion and celebrate the diversity as a means to foster the well being of every child and thereby enrich our communities.
We accept that every child is unique and shares with others their uniqueness through expression and play.
We build upon the uniqueness of every child in offering opportunity for growth and development. Consultations and access to early intervention professionals is available for the centre and its families.
Our centre offers a strength based approach to achieving developmental gains for each child.
Families are valued and respected and an enrichment to our environment.
