Collie Early Education Inc

Collie early education is a warm friendly environment, which prides ourselves in being a fully inclusive equality service where children families and educators are treated as equals and valued as individuals. The aim of the group is to produce happy, confident children who are interested in life and enthusiastic about the challenges they will meet. Each child’s individual needs come first as we link with their families to identify the child’s interests so that we can provide them with a relaxed, warm, stimulating and safe environment that meets each child’s needs and matches their abilities. We want to ensure that children thrive and learn through planned, play-based experiences and through child-initiated play. Every child at the service is cared for with genuine warmth and affection and is valued as an individual. We aim to promote self-esteem and develop confidence from birth right through to preschool years and also to encourage the children to be considerate and respect other people’s feelings. Collie early education is the place to be and a safe place where parents can feel confident that their child is getting the best start in life. We are respectful to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures as well as the varying cultures within our community.
If a child joins our setting and has English as a second language or no English at all, we hope to make the child and the whole family as welcome as possible. We will recognise the importance of the home language, culture and religion and are able to provide translations of some documents in certain languages and can access support for families as and when needed. Our staff are diploma trained or completing their Diploma and the Nominated Supervisor is working towards her early childhood teacher qualification. Our programming provides age appropriate activities, within the guiding principles, practices and learning outcomes of the EYLF, NQF and the NQS, ensuring that the service provides the highest quality of care and education at all times the service also provides additional curricula activities such as forest school, science, sensory experiences, and dance and local excursions.
