PhilosophyAt Buderim Community Kindergarten we recognise that the early years of education are the foundation for future success. We value diversity and acknowledge the important role that families, staff and the wider community contribute in supporting every child's individual growth and development. Our Philosophy weaves our beliefs, goals and values together to provide a scaffold of support around every child. Why we value Kindergarten for all Children: We believe children learn best through PLAY We believe the voice, the rights and the best interests of the child are paramount We believe children are successful, competent and capable learners We believe children learn best with a positive, fun and nurturing introduction to learning We believe early childhood is a fundamentally important and special time in children's lives We believe in laughter and being active The importance of parents and families and the community: We respect and support the role of parents and families in giving their children the best chance to reach their full potential We respect and learn about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island cultures. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land upon which we play and learn We acknowledge the principles of equality, inclusion and diversity. All cultures are valued We promote our community to share and provide learning opportunities for students, so being learning collaborators together We learn together because: We promote strong relationships between teachers and families to support student learning We base our practice on the voice of the child - We have very experienced qualified staff delivering a fully recognised education program which reflects the QKLG and the EYLF We provide a safe and healthy learning environment where best practice is expected in the provision of quality education and care We know children learn best when they are happy and feel safe and so feeling connected and belonging We believe in experiential learning and differential learning experience We believe learning behaviours are a focus over learning outcomes How do we put our beliefs into practice? Our centre has an open door policy, inviting parents, families and our wider community to be involved in our daily kindergarten program. Our qualified and experienced teaching staff are continually keeping updated with professional developments which advantage the growth of our children Our centre curriculum is based on the children's strengths, interests and needs Our centre's children display feeling happy, secure and safe within their environment Our centre is very well presented, equipped and maintained Our centre is constantly reflecting on our practice so to enable a quality improvement process and the best quality outcomes for children Links; our_philosophy_1_.jpg |
