Our Philosophy

At Kids Korner Child Care Centre Tuggerah we are dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment that meets the individual and unique needs of each child.

Our curriculum is based on the understanding of the value of play. Through play children actively construct their own understanding and contribute to others' learning. This strengthens our belief that children are people with curiosity, potential and interest in constructing their own learning as they play. We implement this belief within our curriculum by following guidelines of the Early Years Learning Framework.

Our centre welcomes all families, recognising the diversity of people's beliefs, values, cultures and abilities within our wider community. As families are the most important people in a child's life, we aim to work in close partnerships with families based on mutual respect. We value and welcome their input and involvement in the centre.

Our Centre Goals are to:

1. Provide an empathic, stable and secure environment that supports the development of positive self esteem and sense of self worth.
2. Further support the emotional needs of children by encouraging interactions within the pre-school.
3. Implement a consistent, supportive and age appropriate behaviour management policy and procedure throughout the pre-school.
4. Ensure all staff have and continue to develop a sound knowledge and skill base and encourage staff to build stable and lasting relationships within the pre-school.
5. Expect and maintain high standards of care and nutrition.
6. Maintain individual child records linked to developmentally appropriate programs that extend the thinking and learning while providing opportunities for each child to make meaningful decisions and choices to enhance and extend their development in a supportive environment.
7. The centre is a part of a supportive community that provides a referral and outreach for families, respect the diversity of children, their families and caregivers.
