Mirrabooka Early
Childhood Centre's Philosophy:
Our mission here:
Here at Mirrabooka Early Childhood
Centre we strive to build relationships with all of our children and
partnerships with families and the wider community. Nurturing and supportive
interactions between child and educator is only the start to our positive
relationships, which than leads us to scaffolding each child so they are able
to reach their full potential through their own strengths and interests.
What we believe in for children:
We believe all children are capable
and unique with individual needs, interests and strengths.
All children are given equal
opportunities regardless of their gender, culture, socio-economic background
and we support the inclusion of children who require additional assistance.
We acknowledge that children develop
and learn at their own pace and educators will ensure expectations for
children’s development are specific to each child, their unique experiences and
individual backgrounds are valued.
Children learn best through play and
educators will support their development by giving the children the opportunity
to choose their own experiences that, most importantly, reflect their interests
and are meaningful.
Educators will use positive forms of
behaviour guidance and will continue to work in partnership with parents
throughout this process.
Educators will act on behalf, protect
and advocate for the rights and wellbeing of all children and their families.
Through our learning programs we
ensure that:
Children have a strong sense of
identity
Are connected with and contribute to
their world
Have a strong sense of wellbeing
Are confident and involved learners
Are effective communicators
Partnerships with families:
Parents are an integral part of who
we are. We provide a welcoming, positive, safe and caring environment where
every family is valued. We acknowledge the uniqueness and diversity that each
family brings to the service.
We encourage open communication with
our families through various mediums and value all interactions. We support our
families through difficult times and decisions and we are always here to help
in any way we can.
Our community:
Our community is our key support
network and we nourish relationships within our local and wider communities, we
reach out to a variety of community members to be actively involved with our
service.
We acknowledge the original
custodians of the land. We believe in a positive and proactive approach to our
environment and encourage educators and children to discover respect for the
land, nature and animals. We continue our journey towards a sustainable future
for the well-being of all in the community and promote sustainability in our
centre.
We welcome community involvement
recognising it as an evolving resource benefiting the child, family and
community. We believe in rich relationships within our organisation. We desire
and promote professional and personal growth resulting in acceptance, support
and celebration of each other.
Our program:
Is underpinned by a commitment to the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and respect each child’s
right to play and leisure opportunities. Our program promotes the importance of
play especially child initiated play. It offers children a balance of
structured and unstructured activities to choose from. We acknowledge that
children have been at school all day and want to relax, interact with friends
and have fun, therefore our programs encourage children to make their own
choices based on individual needs, strengths, interests, age and energy levels.
We believe that children’s voices are
the most important part of our program for that reason all children are given
the opportunity to have input into the program with ideas and suggestions.
Through group projects children are
empowered to work together, to show respect, care for and appreciate their
natural environment.
