ELC

Our mission is to provide a supportive educational environment that challenges, inspires and empowers each child and young person to achieve their potential, within a Christian framework.

Our Early Learning Centre philosophy impacts on our core values which aim to:

• provide learning environments which respond to, and maximise, children’s voices, agency, development, needs, diversity and culture;
• support children in creating ownership of their learning and develop curiosity;
• assist children to connect with their world and their place within it, through both intentional and spontaneous experiences;
• foster an atmosphere of innovation, risk-taking, creativity and inquiry through the use of natural resources and sustainable practices;
• model Christian behaviours of perseverance, temperance, care, respect, acceptance and forgiveness;
• develop a sense of community and belonging to each other;
• provide inclusive learning environments through the use of flexible, age appropriate resources and spaces, supporting and promoting a range of capabilities; and
• encourage families, as children’s first educators, to form a partnership with the Early Learning Centre.

We seek to provide a place where children will be cared for and educated, in an environment built upon the Christian values of Burgmann Anglican School.

We want to provide staff with a place to work that values a culture of reflective practice and development as professionals, collaborating to support children’s learning and development.
