Our Philosophy
Our philosophy acknowledges that there are four important aspects involved in the children's learning; the child, Parents and families, the Community and the Early Childhood Educators.
Together, we are able to support the child's early year's education and instil the values of lifelong learning.
Our Kids
"We're all a little bit different; we're all a little bit the same. That's what makes us special."
(Kathy Walker, 2012)
