#Let Them Play!

CENTRE PHILOSOPHY

At Little Treasures, every child’s rights and best interests form the cornerstone of our philosophy. We prioritise their safety, health, and well-being, ensuring they’re respected and heard. We see children as capable learners, fostering opportunities for them to construct their own understanding, contribute to learning, and engage in decisions relevant to their lives. Equity, inclusion, and diversity are integral to our practices, ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive, regardless of background or abilities.

Recognising families as children’s first and most influential teachers, we value their role in nurturing and guiding children’s development. We integrate insights from developmental theorists like John Bowlby and Erik Erikson into our holistic approach, fostering respectful relationships and positive interactions. We also honour and integrate Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures into our curriculum and daily practices, fostering trust and collaboration with families.

Our environment is designed to inspire curiosity, promote competence, and encourage independent exploration through play. We encourage children to take appropriate risks, fostering confidence and connection with nature. We also recognise the benefits of caring for living things, providing hands-on experiences with our Potty Farm to foster compassion, empathy, and environmental awareness.

Our team is dedicated to achieving quality outcomes, committing to lifelong learning and continuous improvement. We stay informed of current research and apply best practices thoughtfully, ensuring quality outcomes for every child. We embed sustainability practices into our programs, empowering children to become environmentally responsible citizens.

In collaboration with families, educators, and the community, learning becomes a collaborative journey. We cherish the opportunity to be part of each child’s remarkable learning adventure, guiding them through the formative years. At Little Treasures, every child’s journey is nurtured with care and respect, empowering them to thrive in their own unique way.
