Children will have the freedom, choice and independence needed to explore their settings. Ensuring all children feel a sense of belonging within the Centre.
We believe:
Here at Benara Road Early Learning Centre,
“Our aim is to provide fun-filled, safe, secure environments where all children are welcomed and feel a sense of belonging”
In this we believe children are in control of their own learning and we as Educators are here to guide and assist where necessary. In so doing, children can move freely throughout their learning environment, enjoying th
e flexibility and child-interest based activities, assisting in creating ideas and making their own decisions, which is a skill they will use throughout their life. All areas of environment set each day allow the children to hypothesise, investigate, explore, experiment, problem- solve, use their imagination and creativity, build social skills and create a better understanding of themselves, their wellbeing and their environment and most of all have fun. With a sense of belonging each child can build the social competence, self–esteem, confidence and self- expression gained through play and social interaction, promoting ongoing learning and development. We provide continuity of care with our trained staff by being exceptional role- models, providing the best quality care for your child whilst building a trusting and positive relationship. Staff will always provide guidance, support, positive re-enforcement and redirection and will acknowledge each child’s individual developmental needs, stages, efforts and achievements. Through community and family involvement children gain a respectful understanding of their world, valuing diversity and differences found today. We encourage children in the understanding and respecting of other cultures as we are a respected multicultural country. We welcome family input in all areas of each child’s learning and development, assisting in furthering existing skills. As your child’s first Teacher we feel that by working collaboratively with our Educators within the Early Years Framework we can provide the best early childhood education possible for your child. Reflecting on and analysing what has been learned, and developing educational programmes based on interests and future learning possibilities. Through interest-based planning we are able to observe the children grow in themselves, becoming confident and involved learners. Creating a safe, secure environments, which allow each individual child to feel they belong equally and without bias. Educators will use their knowledge and empathy of each individual child and their interests to recognise the assistance needed to support each child in all their learning areas, with a wide range of resources to assist in the intentional teaching we provide. Families can be assured their children are in great care and are learning about all life’s wonders here at Benara Road Early Learning Centre.
