CHILD

 

Budgewoi Preschool Believes;

 

Early childhood education is the foundation for learning and development throughout life.

 

Children are individuals who are capable and resourceful learners, who actively contribute to their own learning. 

 

Interactions with children create respectful, secure and meaningful relationships that facilitate responsive relationships with other children and adults. We know this is pivotal for children's learning. 

 

Play based learning is valued and used to foster the Early Years Learning Framework outcomes with a focus on children's strengths. 

 

Children's interests are incorporated into the curriculum which in turn creates the foundation for meaningful experiences. 

 

Inclusion is a right for every child. All children, regardless of their ability, socio-economic status or cultural background, may access and participate in the service.

 

Positive attitudes towards differences and similarities promote an environment of diversity. 

 

The environment is seen as a 'third teacher', resources and spaces are a tool to enhance a child's learning and development. 

 

Providing quality care and education that fosters health and wellbeing for every child.
