Statement of Philosophy
Everything we do is with paramount consideration for children
We put children’s safety first and promote their dignity, rights and cultural safety. Collaborative and reciprocally respectful relationships with children form the foundation of our purpose and practice.
Let them lead
We celebrate each child and their individual strengths. Their voice is always the loudest in informing our practice. Autonomy and agency are the key principles of our pedagogy.
A little wild does a world of good
We believe children are global citizens who are directly shaped by their environment and the world around them. Connection to country through sustainable practices and caring for our forever homes (our bodies) is a profound part of their development, sense of belonging and identity. Adventure, risk taking and exploration of the world around us is welcome here.
Inclusion is woven through presence, intention and the way a place makes you feel.
We celebrate all children, families, staff and community including their unique cultural practices, diversity and perspectives and we consider these in all areas of our practice. Everyone is welcome here. We lead with kindness.
Through critical reflection, we challenge our everyday thinking, strengthen our practice and support every child to thrive.
Critically reflective practice underpins all of our decision making and commitment to ongoing holistic improvement in consultation with our community.
