Philosophy of Willy Wagtail Kindergarten

A philosophy underpins everything we do as educators as such it should be a living document that is reviewed regularly. Children are individuals that if provided with unique opportunities and experiences that are guided by intentional practices it will enable them to explore, discover and grow. This allows children to acquire skills, knowledge and sensitivities that enable them to make the most of their full potential.

We believe in:
  • Children being able to explore within a safe but stimulating environment

  • Educators always discovering ways to improve their skill levels

  • Respecting and engaging with our local community to enhance our service

  • Educators that are passionate about early childhood education

  • A play-based approach that is supported through intentional teaching

  • Supportive relationships that are based on trust and respect with the children, families and educators and the local community

  • Creating a better future for our children through promoting sustainability and the consideration of environmental issues

  • The rights of the child being paramount by providing an inclusive approach that supports children overall well-being

  • Utilising the Early Years Framework and reflective practice to create meaningful programs
