Meet Cat our Centre Manager
I believe that the relationships we create and develop with children are incredibly important for children to gain and cultivate feelings such as empathy, love, kindness and support. Children also should feel safe, secure, and supported enough within their relationships with educators to have the ability and confidence to explore their world and environment and return when they need comfort and support. I believe that children should be surrounded by an environment that encompasses a child focused inquiry based on the children who will be in the space. Real world resources encourage children to form their own self autonomy and regulation.

In our infant and toddler classrooms we encompass a family like environment for our youngest children. Our infant and toddler holistic wellbeing is of upmost importance. We provide a respectful environment that is rich in learning possibilities and provides a safe space for our children to unfold naturally in their own space and time. Our mission is to grow competent and confident learners that are secure in their sense of belonging and socialising with others.

In our junior kindergarten and senior kindergarten classrooms we provide a safe learning environment for all our children. Each individual child is unique in their own way and we understand that all children learn differently. We believe our environment acts as the third teacher and we set up inviting provocations that provoke thought and wonder for our children to extend their current interests on a deeper level.

Our Kindergarten room is managed by university-trained Early Childhood Teachers, specializing in the Early Years. The program is delivered in alignment with the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines and Early Years Framework. We provide experiences which allow children opportunities to develop a range of skills, knowledge and dispositions for learning that we believe will set them up for life long learning.
