Supporting children’s wellbeing and learning
Strong, responsive relationships are at the heart of our work with children. Our educators use a range of relationship-based, strengths-based and evidence-informed approaches to support children’s wellbeing, confidence, communication, social development and learning.
Some of our educators have undertaken Marte Meo training and may draw on these interaction strategies as one of the many approaches used in our everyday practice.
We value working in partnership with families. Conversations with educators are an important way to share what you are noticing about your child, learn more about their experiences at kindergarten and consider ways we can support their learning together.
Families can also speak with educators about books, literacy resources and other materials that may be available to borrow or use at home.
Disability support
There is support available for children with disability. Talk to us for more information.
