Our philosophy is based on the belief that all children are unique, capable, competent and involved learners who make a valuable contribution to their community.
We believe children have the right to loving relationships, respect, care and education in an environment that is safe and free from discrimination.
We believe that early childhood is a vital stage in human development and lays the foundation for future learning. We believe young children should have time to “just be”, to play, to try new things, explore their world and to have fun.
We believe young children do learn through their play experiences and our programs are responsive to this and are tailored to each child’s needs and level of development. These programs reflect the principles and practices of the National Early Years Learning Framework.
We highly value the role of our teachers in building genuine relationships with each child as this underpins our programs and enables learning to occur. Our staff observe and share the children’s learning experiences, extend their thinking and intentionally introduce the children to new learning.
We actively promote and encourage strong partnerships with families as this creates a wonderful sense of belonging that is vital to the learning environment of our children.
We believe in the process of continually improving the care and education we provide at Beehive so we can provide the highest quality service for our families. This is done through the on-going process of reflection and review in collaboration with our families and staff.
