We use the Early Years Learning Framework and The National Quality Framework to scaffold children in making sense of their world. Providing play -based learning is an important part of how we support children’s development. We are committed to providing responsive programs, and educators teach intentionally and collaborate with families. Through this guidance, children’s well-being and confidence will be promoted as they embark on their learning journey.

Children will learn to face challenges and take risks positively and in a supportive and safe environment.

A strong emphasis is placed on encouraging challenge and ensuring that children learn safely. Children will be supported in their hygiene practices, through modelling and encouragement.
We acknowledge that our loving Creator God first gave the land on which we are placed, to the Wiradjuri people who have cared for and played on this land since before recorded time. We are committed to seeking First Nations perspectives and respectfully incorporating these viewpoints in our day-to-day practice.
