Relationships are the foundation of our Community Pre-school.
Children are encouraged to develop lifelong, respectful, positive and proactive attitudes towards learning, relationships and wellbeing.
We recognise and value the uniqueness and significance of our community pre-school together with all involved.
Our educators are valued and appreciated for their unique range of experiences, knowledge and contributions. They share a commitment to continued professional learning and critical reflection.
The individual learning style, interests and abilities of each child is supported with intentionality.
We demonstrate respect for the traditional owners of the land on which we live and play, the Darug and Guringai people. We seek to build and share our knowledge, understanding and awareness of Indigenous culture.
Provocations, materials and experiences provide opportunities to create wonder, enhance imagination through questioning, investigation and discovery while promoting resilience, and a growth mindset.
Within our inclusive setting we nurture kindness, respect and acceptance through a shared understanding of social justice and citizenship.
Through play our children learn to grow and develop to their full potential with support and guidance to negotiate learning and build upon their own knowledge and understanding.
We embrace the importance of family as central to the child’s world and work together to celebrate their rich diversity, religion, culture, language and lifestyles.
Our environment is safe, secure and rich with choices.
We endeavour to construct meaningful, open and collaborative partnerships where families are encouraged to be actively involved in the life of the pre-school through sharing stories, ideas, cultures, knowledge, strengths and differences.
Our environment and teaching practices provide children with opportunities to develop independence, relationships, a sense of belonging, an understanding of self and the world around them through supported risk taking, exploration and inquiry.
Children are empowered learners who are valued and heard, promoting their right to agency.
Our program and experiences represent multiple voices, constructing a shared connectedness and a respectful collaboration of our community.
We value the importance of learning through the arts, STEM and digital technologies.
We reflect a respectful appreciation of nature and a sense of responsibility towards sustainability. We foster positive attitudes, skills and values to shape a sustainable and global future.
