"It takes a village to raise a child"
Our Child Care Philosophy
Our philosophy has been developed in conjunction with our family values, mission in creating a supportive and loving community, diversity and learning environments. We draw on the wider community to inspire the learning programs and curriculums. We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved, interested and engaged in the experiences we provide. We are committed to providing high quality education and care for each individual child and their family.
We acknowledge and respect the indigenous people of Australia as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we meet, learn and work. We respect all Elders past, present and future for they hold the memories, culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia. The children will be guided in an acknowledgement to Country each day.
Terrey Hills ELC will embed perspectives of the Indigenous people into their projects and daily practices.
