ABOUT US
The formative years from birth to 5 years of age are a critical time in forming basic personality traits. Our ability to love, trust and deal with other people and how we view the world and our place in it is established. Our sense of who we are begins to develop by the ways others respond to us. We need to have positive social interaction with other people. Our natural curiosity about the world around us needs to be challenged and stimulated. As children, we need to be able to express our natural creativity and imagination. Most important during those tender years, we need to find a sense of security, a sense of belonging and the assurance of being cared for and loved. Our centre is concerned with the growth and development of the whole child. Our educators are committed to the purpose of fostering a secure, friendly and stimulating environment. To recognise the unique qualities and dignity of each person, we aim to encourage a positive self-image and to help each child achieve his or her potential and to find ways using their abilities creatively.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Play’n’Around Early Learning we believe each child is a unique individual in their own right and that their special abilities, interests and back grounds are a very important contribution to our culturally diverse community.
At Play’n’Around Early Learning Centre we believe within the environment of care we will promote development of fine and gross motor skills, exercise, good nutrition, sleep and rest periods. We will ensure each child feels love, security and a sense of belonging. We will provide cognitive stimulation and education through a variety of experiences, stimulation of the senses and promote the importance of play.
At Play’n’Around Early Learning Centre we believe in our staff developing partnerships with families and the community alike. We invite families to actively participate in the operation of the centre and provide feedback through continual communication with our staff.
Play’n’Around Early Learning Centre we endeavour to employ qualified, experienced and passionate educators who are encouraged and supported in continual professional development.
At Play’n’Around Early Learning Centre we believe the children should be cared for in an environment that is warm, safe, secure, caring, nurturing, open and a homelike environment.
