Kidz First Early Learning Centre -

At Kidz First Early Learning Centre we acknowledge the importance of early childhood experiences and provide a warm, friendly place which nurtures the needs and wellbeing of children in a safe, supportive and caring environment. We reflect on best practices and aim to provide care that gives our families that “home away from home” feeling.

We have respect for our families and support them when needed. We recognise that aspects of child care, family and community life are integrated and interdependent. Our educators are driven by the Reggio Emilia approach in education for the children that attend our centre.

We believe that play forms the foundation for children’s learning and we will be guided by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework by providing learning environments indoors and outdoors that support positive outcomes for all children.

We recognise that the family is the child’s first and most important teacher. Parents are viewed as partners, collaborators, and advocates for their children. We invite parents to be involved into every aspect of the curriculum.Families are encouraged to participate in centre events and share in the decision-making process.

We assist children to develop a sense of belonging by creating an environment where they can build connections with peers, staff, community and their natural environment. We strive to encourage children to be successful, competent and capable learners.

We believe that all children should be treated with equality, and their cultural and linguistic diversity embraced and acknowledged. We provide an environment that encourages this for all children, including Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
