Stepping Stones Early Learning Centre Dubbo

At Stepping Stones Early Learning Centre, they understand that quality education is built on a foundation of secure, respectful relationships, so each child is held in the highest esteem and is valued for their differentness and individuality. Relationships with children are core to their beliefs and foundational for promoting deep understanding. They passionately believe children express themselves in hundreds of languages – through creative, sensory, investigatory, experimental and, always, joyful play. Children are capable, confident and competent, having an inherent disposition for learning. Every child has a right to quality care, education and an innate sense of safety. Promoting each child’s sense of security through a flexible routine, continuity of educators and consistent expectations.

They hold tightly to the belief that children and educators are co-learners through respectful and collaborative partnerships. The role of the educators is to care for, collaborate with and support each child by building deep, personal, and meaningful relationships with every child to help them grow, learn and thrive. They regard educators as valued professionals, who should be treated as such - educators are sparks that kindle fires within children. The educators actively create a positive, professional culture of collaboration, inspiration and appreciation.
