Terrey Hills Early Learning Centre believes that children learn best when they are actively involved, interested, and engaged in the experiences provided.
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 Educators
Are qualified and dedicated to facilitate intentional and spontaneous teaching, program co-creators of learning and teaching, ethical and reflective practitioners. Supported by management to achieve high standards.
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.
