Our Centre Philosophy

Our philosophy has been put together with the thoughts of what our center’s parents, staff and children believe is important in everyday life at childcare.  These thoughts have become the foundation of what we strive to achieve while caring for children and working alongside staff and parents on a daily basis. Our House Early Learning World is a project established to service the growing needs of the local community.

Current thinking in the field of Early Childhood education echoes the statement by King Solomon, found in the Book of Proverbs: “Educate a child to his way and when he is old he will not depart from it.” The basic philosophy behind our program is that children learn best by doing. The program activities are therefore designed to help children learn more about the world, their heritage and […]

Policy Update

During the month of June I will be emailing policies out to parents for review and feedback.  Our Policy Folder is located in our foyer for families to peruse at a time convenient to them. During our next staff meeting our Educator’s will be discussing and looking at whether our Centre Philosophy meets the needs and families of the centre. I have included our philosophy below and would appreciate families taking the time to read our philosophy and provide their thoughts on what should be included in our philosophy.
