CENTRE PHILOSOPHY

To provide an inclusive environment within our childcare setting is to have an understanding of the diverse society we live in and how this diversity influences and enriches the lives of families, children and the community.

In accordance with the principles of social justice, all children and their families regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, ability, class, age and lifestyle are valued and are entitled to the same opportunities for participation, acceptance and belonging in our childcare environment.
