Our Program

The first five years of a child's life are fundamentally important. Babies and young children grow, learn and develop their unique abilities when they receive love and affection, attention, encouragement and mental stimulation, as well as nutritious meals and good health care.

We believe that parents are the child's first educators. Effective partnership between families and educators develop a sense of collegiality based on the “integration of different wisdom” (Spaggiari, 1993, p. 97) facilitate the exchange of ideas and views, input families’ voices in the children program, and value each family expectation on what and how children learn.

In providing the most up to date practices and experiences for all children of the service we guide our programs using the Early Years Learning Framework- Belonging, Being and Becoming. As stated in the Australian Children's’ Education and Care Quality Authority information booklet regarding the Early Years Learning Framework:  The aim of this document is to extend and enrich children’s learning from birth to five years and through the transition to school. The Council of Australian Governments has developed this Framework to assist educators to provide young children with opportunities to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for future success in learning. In this way, the Early Years Learning Framework (the Framework) will contribute to realising the Council of Australian Governments’ vision that: “All children have the best start in life to create a better future for themselves and for the nation.”
