We Provide a Special Needs Program, and have Support Workers above the Department of Community Services requirement ratio, employed with a scan Funding.
The Centre Program
We are Implementing the Emergent Curriculum which means the learning evolves from the interaction of both adult and child, diverging along new paths as choices and connections are made. It is always open to new possibilities that were not thought of during the initial planning process making it exciting and unique to the Centre. We strongly believe in working in partnerships with the parents to contribute to the program.
Learning is promoted as an individual and social process where, children, teachers, and families are learning from each other, sharing resources as the program evolves and grows.
The children’s literacy experience supports their home language and extends each child’s home and community experiences
A slide show of highlighting how the children’s day was can be viewed on the computer. Parents are able to present their suggestions or comments. Staff are prepared to share information about their child’s day with the parents.
Each child has their individual portfolio where we record their learning experiences throughout the year.
We have regular meetings with the parents to discuss progress and implement new strategies in regards with the child’s development.
Our Vision
We strive to provide the best possible environment for the children in our care. Our staff are friendly, affectionate and always have the children’s as their top priority.
