PHILOSOPHY

Reviewed in 2022

At Rose Park Community Childcare (RPCC) we believe that all children, regardless of age, cultural background, gender, abilities or socio-economic background, have the right to a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters and sustains them to reach their full potential.

At Rose Park Community Childcare, reconciliation means actively recognising, respecting, and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We want to honestly acknowledge what has happened in the past since colonisation and to journey on a path to improved equality and equity.
Our aim is for our educators, children and families to continue to build on our knowledge and awareness of, and build relationships with, the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We will respectfully reflect on our own as well as the children’s developing knowledge and understanding relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and cultures through intentional teaching/learning experiences, and rich conversations, connections and community involvement within our programs.

Underpinning this are the Vision, Values and Purpose and its objective to be known as a high-quality care and education service for young children.

OUR CHILDREN

We believe that all children are competent, resourceful individuals who are capable of directing their own learning. Our children, families and educators are encouraged to take a shared responsibility in the learning journey. Therefore, we:

nurture children to form a sense of themselves and their belonging to the Service and its community;
create caring, secure and trusting connections between the children, families and educators;
recognise that children have rights and increasing responsibilities in the world around them;
enable children to make choices, build resilience, develop independence, confront challenges and solve problems; and
create collaborative partnerships with families and wider communities to help support and develop the child’s learning journey.

OUR ENVIRONMENT

We believe that the physical environment impacts significantly on each child’s capacity to learn. Therefore, we:

provide sustainable aesthetically pleasing child-centred environments for our children to play in and our educators to work in;
ensure our (and the broader) community and its cultures are represented throughout the environment;
provide natural play spaces that encourage imagination and exploration; and
value the outdoors as a rich and engaging learning environment
we provide a balanced, nutritious, sustainable menu, which is guided by global concerns – inclusive of individual dietary, cultural and family requirements.

LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

At RPCC we believe that a quality play-based programme has many benefits for children as it facilitates the acquisition of skills, dispositions and knowledge.

We consider children to be ‘inquirers’ who make choices, ask, investigate, think, create, reflect, participate, co-construct knowledge and collaborate with others in their learning. We see early childhood as the optimal time for supporting children to be confident and capable life-long learners. Therefore, we:

use play-based learning to capitalise on children’s natural sense of inquiry and discovery through hands-on exploration of the world around them;
provide a caring environment where children feel comfortable to take risks in their learning;
ensure opportunity for playing in a range of different environments including a focus on the natural environment and nature play;
encourage children’s curiosity and wonderment and ensure that the curriculum emerges from the children’s interests and real-world happenings;
implement inclusive individualised programmes that support cultural diversity and children with differing abilities and
use the Early Years Learning Framework to guide our programme.

OUR EDUCATORS

We believe that our educators and staff are our greatest asset and that their contribution leads to successful outcomes for children and families. Therefore, we:

see them as professionals with experience, knowledge and skills in pedagogy, curriculum, and child development.
will treat them as lifelong learners and foster their professional growth and development;
will acknowledge and respect their various cultures and the values they encapsulate within the bounds of the Services vision, values and purpose; and
provide a family friendly workplace for all service members aiming to support them and their families’ requirements.
