Samantha's Childcare & Kindergarten Philosophy


Educators

  • We strive to form positive collaborative professional relationships, that encompasses respect and trust.
  • We value the principles of play-based curriculum that holistically supports cognitive, emotional, social,  physical and well-being development for each child.
  • We understand each child is a unique individual deserving of respect, understanding, and encouragement.

Environment

  • We recognise and understand the environment supports children’s curiosity to explore and extend their interests through questioning and discovery.
  • We believe sustainability extends beyond learning in nature by incorporating social, educational, and environmental concepts that align with each family and the wider community’s expectations.

Relationships with children and families

  • We value children's voices/rights and the importance of creating warm, friendly, positive relationships with children through nurturing and meaningful interactions.
  • We recognise the family is the most important relationship for each child and respect their culture, beliefs, and values.

 

Community and Diversity

  • We appreciate the diversity of all families and our surrounding community and how it shapes the culture of our service.
  • We provide educational programs that are inclusive of diversity, culture and believe our programs are enriched by the differences that make us a community.
