OUR CHILDREN

At Terrey Hills Early Learning Centre, we see all children as capable, confident, and competent learners. We believe they have the right to be active participants in their own learning, exploring their environment with independence and curiosity.

Our educators are passionate about early childhood development and understand that the early years are the most critical for learning. We are trained to support children in expressing their needs, interests and ideas, creating a safe, nurturing space that encourages growth and celebrates each child’s individuality.

We recognise that every child develops at their own pace and bring unique qualities and abilities. Our approach is guided by respected theories, including the Circle of Security, Bronfenbrenner and Vygotsky, helping us build strong, respectful relationships with children and families.

Our Sustainability and the Natural Environment​​

At Terrey Hills ELC we are consistently coming up with innovative ideas on how we can embed sustainable practices in our projects and everyday happenings. The children will be encouraged to work individually and in both small and large groups, this encourages children to work independently and collaboratively. Terrey Hills ELC believes in the “paddock to plate” philosophy and embeds this within everyday learning.

Our Families​

Terrey Hills ELC view families as the child’s first and most influential Educators. We believe that we provide a service to parents that can assist them in improving the quality of life for their child and their family. Through our open-door policy, we endeavour to welcome our families to be involved in our centre events and celebrations. We understand the importance of informing families about their child’s wellbeing, progress and learning achievements. Therefore, the relationships with our families are built on trust, co-operation and open communication. At Terrey Hills ELC we value feedback about our service and will act accordingly on feedback provided.

Our Wider Community and Diversity​

At Terrey Hills Early Learning Centre, we value strong community connections and actively build relationships with local schools, services, and organisations. These partnerships support smooth transitions to primary school and enrich children’s learning through real-world experiences. We embrace cultural diversity and believe community input strengthens our curriculum. By engaging with families, local resources, and cultural traditions, we help children develop respect, belonging, and understanding of the world around them. Our environment is thoughtfully designed as a ‘third teacher’ — inviting exploration, play, and discovery across both indoor and outdoor spaces. We welcome feedback and collaboration, and are committed to continuous growth alongside our community.
