At Gumnut Kidz Kindergarten, we have implemented guidelines/policies to enable Management and staff to unfailingly have a strong dedication and responsibility to the care of each child. We believe the first five years of a child's life is very important as this is an age when children are developing rapidly across intellectual, social, emotional and physical areas. Through educational goal based programs that encourage exploration and experimentation, we aim to nurture and promote this development, as well as provide the children in our care with a safe and secure environment where there is acceptance, respect, caring and encouragement. We consider the family unit to be the first and most important formative influence in their child's life, and as such we strive to promote strong relations with our families, encouraging their involvement in our programs, routines and policy development. Gumnut Kidz Kindergarten is a family owned and oriented community resource aiming to benefit not only the children but also the family, by providing them with educational and supportive resources, as well as links to other community services to help them in their important job as parents. The Centre is staffed by a qualified teacher and all other staff are experienced, holding the relevant certificates in Child Care studies or in training. All staff are encouraged and expected to do courses and "In-Services" during the year to maintain knowledge and teaching methods. |
