Our environments and learning experiences create positive and trusting relationships, by giving children the opportunity to contribute, feel empowered and be heard.
At Lara Lake Community Preschool we encourage, nurture and aspire to create meaningful relationships with our community and welcome family participation and engagement.
We acknowledge the many ways that children express themselves and communicate. We afford children a variety of ways to express their ideas; imaginative, symbolic, cognitive and metaphorical. Educators listen, document and assess children’s theories and knowledge and share these through documentation to families and the community.
Our environments and learning experiences aspire to create positive and trusting relationships, courage, resilience, empowerment and well-being. Children are encouraged to be empathetic and caring. They will experience success, joy and celebration by taking risks in their learning, accepting and embracing diversity, developing confidence in themselves and learning from their mistakes.
Our method of teaching and learning is influenced by the cultural and social values we have for children.
- We ensure we listen and give children the opportunity to contribute, feel empowered and be heard.
- We are dedicated and committed to each child’s life-long learning; encouraging them to reach their full potential and enrich their understanding, self-achievements and cultural identities.
- We seek to achieve a balance of child-initiated exploration and intentional teaching within our play-based programs, seizing spontaneous opportunities for learning. Play assists in promoting independence and encourages children to be in control of their own learning. Through play, all children are appropriately challenged and encouraged to explore, discover, and make sense of their world, accomplishing a sense of “Being, Belonging and Becoming”.
Our community and the world we live in is highly valued.
