At Endeavour Hills Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten we believe the role of an early childhood educator is to provide child-oriented programs that meet the needs of children’s individual needs. Through ongoing observation, developmental knowledge and family input our programs provide opportunity and challenge children to develop and build skills they will require in life.

Our centre creates an environment that is stimulating and welcoming. Children can make choices in regards to activities, resources and equipment and they learn through play so we provide hands on experiences that motivate learning and encourage exploration.

Children are treated equally and we promote similarities between people rather than differences. Educators guide and model respect and empathy towards everyone.

Goals
Our goal is to provide the highest quality care which is a child’s right. Stimulating positive experiences and interactions that will foster all aspects of early childhood development and education.

We believe each child is unique with their own interests and potential. In the early years settings, children learn through participating in play, modelling and imagination.

Our aim is to extend a child’s unique inquisitive nature by providing an environment that promotes this through play-based learning.

By fostering social, cognitive, creative development with emotional security, we aim to develop a strong sense of self-worth and to guide each child throughout their time in our care.

Educators
Our centre is staffed by a team of dedicated early childhood professionals. Each room is led by either Bachelor or Diploma qualified educator who is responsible for devising and implementing ago appropriate educational program that supports all children’s cultural and developmental requirements.

The educators work closely with each room leader to ensure the children are cared for as individuals.

Professional development is a crucial part of our commitment to high standards of care therefore we strive to up skill all educators annually.

Educators participate in regular staff meetings, an annual workshops and in-service training to further enhance their knowledge and skills that can be applied at our centre.

Management
Our centre is privately owned and operated. Our director of the centre is principally responsible for the centre.

We welcome and encourage parent involvement throughout the centre.

As an ongoing process to improvement our centre to best meet the needs of the children and families we care for we implement an ‘open door policy’.
