We are committed to providing high-quality education and care for children and believe that to do this we also need to be continually improving our practices. The National Quality Framework gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our practices and be assessed to ensure that we are providing high-quality services.
Belonging, Being and Becoming
The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia informs the development of our programs to enhance each child's learning and development. Our programs are designed to enable children to learn through play - interacting with peers and educators to extend their learning, encounter new ideas and challenge their thinking.
Our educators are skilled in extending children's learning through intentional teaching, responding to spontaneous events and taking a holistic approach to learning and wellbeing. Our environments are welcoming spaces where children can move between a variety of experiences at their own pace, guided by their own interests.
What we offer
- Nutritious and balanced meals: morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea
- An extensive school-readiness program
- Play-based developmental programs based on children's individual and group needs as well as their interests and strengths
- Qualified and experienced educators, with all permanent educators trained in first aid
- All nappies and wipes
- Our large outdoor play environments provide children with opportunities to care for the environment, develop their risk skills and enjoy being outside in a space with lots of trees for shade.
- We like to take the children on excursions. These may occur in our local community, visiting the nearby supermarket or local parks. On other occasions, we like to visit the wider Albury community with visits to the Library or Botanic Gardens, for example.
