About Us

Our Goals

Sustainability
We are committed to embedding sustainable practices throughout our everyday environment, encouraging children, families and educators to make a positive difference together. Our Sustainability Station in the front foyer provides families with opportunities to contribute household items, recyclable materials, cans and bottles, with our can collection centre receiving regular contributions from our community. Sustainability is also embedded in our natural environment through our worm farm, with children actively involved in caring for it and our worm juice being shared with families in recycled bottles. Children participate in caring for our natural garden and are encouraged to explore and incorporate natural resources into their play and learning each day. We also promote creativity and resourcefulness by providing recycled and repurposed materials for children to use in their art and creative experiences. Through these everyday practices, we nurture children’s understanding of caring for our environment and empower them to become responsible and environmentally conscious members of our community.

Cultural Practices
We are committed to further embedding diverse cultural practices throughout our learning environment, ensuring children have meaningful opportunities to develop respect, understanding and appreciation for different cultures. We provide a range of cultural resources, including puzzles, dolls, books and art experiences, while incorporating cultural incursions and celebrations throughout the year. Each Wednesday, children participate in our Language Hub in partnership with Winanga-Li Aboriginal Child & Family Centre, where they explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures through songs, stories, games and art. These experiences support children to build cultural awareness, develop a sense of belonging and connection, and celebrate the rich diversity of the communities around them.

Making a difference
At the beginning of each year, our families and educators come together to choose a charity or community organisation that we would like to support throughout the year. Together, we set a goal and work towards making a meaningful difference. In previous years, our community has participated in food drives supporting the The Salvation Army, raised funds for Cancer Council, and providing Christmas presents for children in need. These experiences provide children with opportunities to understand the importance of helping others, showing compassion and making a positive contribution to their community.

Community
We are committed to strengthening our connections with the wider community and creating meaningful opportunities for children to engage with the people, places and organisations around them. We are continuing to expand our incursions and excursions through partnerships and connections with organisations such as Yoga with Mon, Language Hub, Tamworth Regional Council, Centrepoint Shopping Centre and Tamworth Regional Gallery. Each year, we do an Easter Egg gussing competition and involve the wider community. These experiences allow children to explore their local community, build relationships and develop a sense of belonging and connection. Each Christmas, children also participate in sending Christmas cards to members of our wider community, sharing kindness and joy while learning the importance of contributing to and connecting with others.
