Our Philosophy
In Relation To Children
We aim to provide an inclusive play environment where children will laugh and cry; where they
can explore and experiment; where they can create and destroy; where they may sometimes be
bored and frustrated; where they can feel free for self-expression; where they can get support
required to manage and overcome difficulties; where they can engage in a range of play and
leisure experiences that allow them to feel safe and relaxed, and to interact with friends, practice
social skills, solve problems, try new experiences, and learn life skills.
We use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to ensure that children are supported beyond their basic
needs. We encourage and provide opportunities for the children's growth and development, so
that they can realise their maximum potential and become their best selves.
Our educators strive to create a home environment where children spend time developing the
knowledge and skills for citizenship.
In Relation to Education
We acknowledge that each child is a unique individual and is to be viewed, respected, celebrated and
treated as such. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and work towards
building sustainable relationships.
We view children as competent and capable learners, with their own interests’ strengths and
backgrounds. Educators acknowledge approaches that are culturally and linguistically relevant and are
also responsive to children’s social, physical and intellectual capabilities and based on this evidence
curriculum is developed. We believe that children learn the best when you give them time, space and
freedom from strict rules and structure. We aim to design playful, child lead curriculum activities
where they can play in the mud, make slime, get messy, play pretend, have dance parties, have picnics,
laugh and joke, embrace their time and make it magical while attending our services.
Alongside the desire to deliver the best possible outcome to every child, we have linked with the Little
Scientists Australia professional development program. The program is developed to provide children
with opportunity to explore STEM with confidence and joy.
In Relation to Families
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our service operates, the
Dharawal people, and their language. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torress Strait Islander
people in the community. We have developed a RAP to continuously progress our reconciliation
commitments.
We value the importance of family and encourage their involvement in all areas of our program.
All families are welcome and are encouraged to participate in our service where all feedback and
suggestions are valued and respected.
Our service supports families in their parenting role and offers a collaborative approach to the
nurturing and education of the children. We believe that without a sense of caring there can’t be
no sense of community and for that reason, we encourage each family to participate in our OSHC
community. Our open communication and open-door policy invite families to engage with the
service while maintaining confidentiality and respect of privacy, which is paramount in fostering
relationships.
In Relation to Our Team
Our team consists of group of people who trust and inspire each other. We help each other to get
things done and to succeed beyond what we thought possible. The responsibility of our management
team is not to come up with all great ideas but to create an environment in which great ideas can
thrive. We work together to create a warm and friendly atmosphere for all.
We are strong in terms of leadership succession. We discover, cultivate, retain, and teach employees to
fill available leadership positions. We offer a robust mentorship system to enhance staff training and
skill development. Our open-door policy for staff instils in them the confidence and comfort to
approach the office and discuss any concerns.
We believe that the knowledge, multicultural backgrounds and experience of all our educators and
staff members will enrich the quality and diversity of our service.
Our educators understand that children’s play is a serious learning and for that reason, they broad
their offerings to be responsive to children’s interests. We offer an atmosphere where children will be
loved, respected and cared for; where they will be seen and listened to; where they will be lots of
chances to make mistakes and encouragement to try again; where they will learn in the wildest
possible way about others, and about the world.
In Relation to the Community
We believe that the cultivation of a happy and enriched life is not only through personal
achievements or material gain but also through the pursuit of enduring relationships, and
challenges that provide opportunities for development, as well as through meaningful connections
and contributions within our community and the broader communities.
We celebrate differences and reinforce to build understanding between people, to be respectful
and open to different cultural perspectives, to strengthen cultural security and work towards
equality in opportunity.
We strive to be positive role models for the young minds in our care by sharing our knowledge,
being generous to those in need, expressing gratitude for what we have, and being accepting of
those who are different from us. Our educators believe that instilling in children a sense of
responsibility towards their local and broader communities will benefit them not just during their
time in our care, but for many years to come.
