Our Philosophy

At Bulleen Kids Early Learning Centre, we have based our philosophy on inclusion, this service allows our community to be part of a family not just a service.

Our home like environment is based on the principles of Reggio Emelia, where the children are the center of their own learning. 

The children are self-guided and learn through respect, community, exploration, discovery and play.

 

For the children.

Bulleen Kids Early Learning Centre is a place where the children can feel comfortable, safe and happy while learning through the Framework “being, belonging and becoming” 

which will set each child up for their future learning journey. This together with the early year’s framework will assist children to grow and learn through play.

Our home like environment can allow children to express themselves, to encourage their inner strengths and allow them to use all the knowledge that they have developed both from home life and childcare.

We believe young children are very aware about themselves and the small world they live and that each child is unique with different interests, backgrounds, and developmental stages.

We will support each child by providing play spaces that are natural and reflective of the world, community and family, a place where children can use their imagination and creativity. 

Our holistic and flexible educational programs will focus on children’s interests and encourage their strengths while learning through play. Our educators will guide and support children’s learning through our curriculum, they will provide time, space and resources for children to discover and explore.

Community.

Our Centre
is rich with culture and we encourage the community to be part of this culture.

Our children
and families feel like they are part of a multicultural family where everyone
can feel comfortable no matter what their background is. ‘We are all one’.

We believe in cultural diversity. we celebrate the benefits
of diversity with each individual child and enable them to understand and
acknowledge differences.

At Bulleen
Kids Early Learning Centre, we encourage our community to be a part of this
service by having our ‘Doors always open ‘and allow the families to engage in
their children’s learning journey.

 

Families are an important aspect of our program. We encourage
Parents who are able to spend time in the classroom so they develop more
awareness of the details of their child’s day. Observing what goes on first
hand can help a parent know what to ask the child at the end of the school
day.”

Educators

Our Educators are aware of all children’s strengths,
abilities and interests.  We believe in
building on children’s strengths, skills and knowledge, encouraging their
motivation and engagement in learning (EYLF). 
Creating an environment where children can feel trusted and respected.

 

 Our educators
understand that the early years of a child’s life busy is full of learning
through different developmental milestones, these include: physical, social/emotional,
cognitive and communication. Therefore, the goal of our program is to make this
ongoing learning experience safe, positive, fun, and nurturing to ensure that
the child will enter the next stage of development with confidence

Our program is developmentally appropriate, with a
child-centered atmosphere where children have the opportunity to master new
challenges through activities and topics that are meaningful to them, this will
ensure that children are able to building their self-esteem as they develop and
learn.
Our Program also allows Children to have choices, responsibilities, and
opportunities to create their own learning.
