Our Philosophy
Bullfrog children's centre is inspired by the experiences and knowledge of others. Children, families, our community, Educators and our practices need to connect to ensure the best outcomes for all stakeholders. Our Children
Children are our future. Their acquisition for learning is our daily foundation. We believe that children have the right for their needs and strengths to be accommodated. We understand that each child’s development and identity is unique. We aim to equip each individual child with a sense of Belonging, Becoming and Being. Our Families and Community
We recognise the value and diverse backgrounds of our families and community. We welcome and respect individual experiences, cultures, development needs, strengths and spiritual backgrounds. A sense of belonging within our centre and community is paramount to the wellbeing of our children. Our Educators
At Bullfrog Children's Centre we actively seek to provide a high quality service to all children, families, Educators and our community. It is essential through consistent learning, training and reflection that we can actively work collaboratively for a future that focuses on successful outcomes. As an educational team we believe that empowerment of one self and others aids in Educators feelings of belonging and feeling valued. It is our understanding that this in turn provides secure and more enjoyable spaces for all. Our Practices
We believe in interest based learning in an environment which facilitates children to be self-thinkers and obtain a strong sense of identity and wellbeing. Encouraging and embracing a play centred environment facilitates children to be active in their own learning. We strive to empower children, by using their thoughts, ideas and strengths to develop events within our curriculum. We value the implementation of the Early Years Learning framework and the way in which it guides our practice. Our world
Promoting curiosity in our natural environment encourages all children to be involved in their future. We believe that a sustainable future which equips our children with resources and knowledge of both natural and man-made environments is paramount. Environments that foster children to hold a sense of security and belonging will promote engagement, creativity and learning which underpins each individual’s wellbeing.
