We are committed to meeting the needs of our families by providing flexibility
We aim to provide care in an environment that fosters a sense of belonging and is welcoming for children of families living or working in the West Tamar region. Children’s well-being is at the centre of our decision and policy making. We are committed to meeting the needs of our families by providing flexibility in bookings where possible. As a not for profit service we strive to keep fees as low as possible while still maintaining viability. Fees may be reviewed six monthly.
We believe in the importance of play as an effective learning strategy and support children to direct their own play, learning and exploration. We plan unstructured opportunities that support the foundations of numeracy, literacy, language and social development, and inquiry. Outdoor, physical, and imaginative play are also an important part of our program. We provide a safe and nurturing environment. Children’s individual needs are recognised and supported and their health, comfort, well-being and safety are paramount.
Our early childhood program is developed using The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF). The centre also works in collaboration with families to plan for children, and strives to develop secure and positive relationships and attachments between children and educators.
We place high importance on being a family-centred service where family involvement in the centre is welcomed. We welcome your visits and input. Parents and family members are offered a variety of opportunities to engage. We value families as partners in decision making and regular communication between families and the centre is encouraged. Our hope is that families feel listened to, supported and empowered.
