Community Kids Haven Knoxfield Early Learning & Kinder

Community Kids Haven Knoxfield is a childcare and early learning centre situated in the heart of Knoxfield, in-between the Scoresby and Ferntree Gully area. Our care and teaching approach incorporates the Reggio Emilia philosophy. At the core of this philosophy is an assumption that children form their own personality during the early years of development and that they are endowed with "a hundred languages", through which they can express their ideas. Additionally, we have a strong focus on natural elements and focus on education based around what the child displays interest in to ensure optimum engagement and advancements in their educational voyage in their early learning journey. We always emphasise the importance of parent input, participation and involvement into our program. Our team make every effort to establish an open, positive and trusting relationship with the parents.

We believe children have the right to be treated equally in an equitable environment that respects and positively acknowledges each child regardless of race, culture, gender, class, disability and age. We encourage our children to respect and value differences in others and themselves.
