Ganmain Pied Piper Preschool

Play. Learn. Grow. 

Our Philosophy 

At Ganmain Pied Piper Preschool

 

We Believe That

  • The family is the most important and powerful influence on children’s learning and behaviour and know their child best.

  • By providing a warm and inviting atmosphere within a caring, secure and stimulating environment, the individual strengths and interests of each child, family and staff member are valued and encouraged.

  • We have a responsibility to our children and families to establish and maintain a sense of belonging to the local, national and international community.

  • Children flourish and develop as strong, confident and successful individuals when provided with rich play opportunities, encouraged to think, act and create

  •  An environment of acceptance and kindness promotes the children’s and staff’s personal development and over-all wellbeing.

  • Play should be fun, hands on, child-centred, spontaneous, stimulating and challenging, providing opportunities for children to experiment, discover, explore, investigate, practice skills, take risks, solve problems, make choices and decisions and express ideas with the support of peers and staff.

  • A sense of wonder and love of the natural environment and living things is important (critical) for children to develop lifelong respectful, positive and proactive attitudes towards protecting our environment, caring for living creatures and creating a sustainable environment.

 

We Recognise

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture enrich our learning experiences and we honour their cultural and spiritual connection to this land

  • The importance of respecting and honouring diversity, in all its forms and celebrating differences in others as well as acknowledging, accepting and reflecting each person and their family’s values, culture, beliefs abilities and language in all aspects of the learning environment.

  • Our educator’s as individuals and respect the knowledge, skills training and experience they bring to their role

  • The importance of providing opportunities for further professional development

  • Our staff play an important role in supporting families and sharing the child’s learning and development.

 

We Provide

  • Children with opportunities to discover and learn about themselves, their peers and the environment in an atmosphere that encourages harmonious and meaningful relationships.

  • Opportunities for each family to participate in the service community, welcoming and supporting their interests and involvement

Approaches that reflect and celebrate cultural competency, acceptance, respect and compassion for all people.
