home-like environment

Our program aims to provide a home-like environment where children are encouraged to share their day, their enthusiasm and their interests. We recognize the importance of a positive, caring environment where each child feels comfortable to participate and succeed as an individual and part of a group.

Programs are developed to be inclusive of the range of primary school ages and aim to build confidence by encouraging social and physical competency through both independent success and an interactive and supportive staff. Programs are designed, implemented and evaluated with regard to children’s social, physical, emotional, recreational, intellectual and creative development.

variety of activities and programs

A wide variety of activities and programs are offered to respect diversity of background, skills, ideas and needs.  Programs are non-discriminatory, gender equitable and inclusive of all enrolled children. Programs aim to be culturally relevant and recognize different cultural backgrounds. Children with a disability are included and where necessary, catered for individually, in activities in a sensitive and caring way.

The program and School Council take every opportunity to celebrate and promote our high quality programs and staff and reinforce our connection to the school to encourage families to utilize our programs. We are continually open to suggestions to improve the programs and to ensure they meet the expectations and needs of the school community.
