At Billybeet childcare and kindergarten our philosophy is to support children’s learning and development to their full potential. We firmly believe through offering children an environment of love, support, trust and respect, children can enjoy their stay and have the opportunity to strive. Our staff work together as a team to develop a philosophy that includes our values and beliefs of early childhood.
The philosophy of Billybeet childcare and kindergarten has been developed with the involvement of management, staff and families.
Our philosophy is guided by our interactions with children, families, our policies, procedures, children’s experiences and our centre environment. It includes our beliefs, values and attitudes and focuses on 7 areas that we feel are important factors within early childhood and the care we provide to children and their families.
We believe each child is a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth, they develop individual personalities and learning styles (Fleer, M.). We understand individual learning styles and are aware of children’s interests, likes and dislikes and provide materials and experiences that not only developmentally appropriate but also challenging for the individual.
