LITTLE WHALERS DAY CARE is a place:
-
Children, Families and Educators are treated as equal and valued individuals.
-
We endeavour to create a positive, caring and stimulating environment where children learn through play, are encouraged to develop at their own pace, and a place where parents feel confident and happy to leave their children.
-
We aim to create an environment, which is both, challenging but non-threatening, is safe and aesthetically pleasing in both the indoor and outdoor environments. We believe that our service should be a place for children to have fun and where they feel safe, secure and happy.
-
The children will receive excellent physical care, nutritious food and careful supervision in a safe, healthy, caring and supportive environment.
-
We believe in quality programming which follows the Early Years Learning Framework for each individual child that is based on their interests and strengths.
-
Children will be catered for within the program without any bias towards gender, race, cultural or linguistic backgrounds, ability or family structure.
-
LITTLE WHALERS operates according to a philosophy of open management and aims to reflect the local community by encouraging participation and discussion about all issues relevant to the running of the centre by all Stakeholders. We have an ongoing commitment to encourage the families of the service and the wider community to be involved in the program.
