The Joey Club Sydney

The Joey Club Sydney is a work-based long daycare program providing care and education for the children of Qantas employees. Our work with children is based on the belief that the early childhood years are of great significance in a young person’s life and foundational in fostering the natural dispositions of children to become a life-long learner.

Our approach to learning is framed by our ability to construct a curriculum that is thoughtfully planned, culturally and linguistically responsive, challenging, engaging, contextual and one that promotes positive learning outcomes for diverse learners. The implementation of our curriculum is guided by a set of principles that have been chosen to reflect the centres beliefs about how children learn, the role families play in children’s learning, the role of the environment, the importance of relationships, as well as children’s own identity within the context of their families, culture, community and as global citizens.

The Joey Club Sydney is a place where children’s thinking, learning and work is honored and made visible to families and to the wider Qantas community. We create communities of learning amongst children where play-based and project approaches to learning are highly favoured, providing children with a variety of opportunities to develop learning dispositions and skills such as curiosity, creativity, decision-making, exploration, language and self-expression.
