All our staff are chosen for their qualifications, experience and professionalism working in early childhood education. Enthusiastic, caring natures are essential personality attributes to work at our centre. Our teachers are committed professionals who aim to be positive role models in lifelong learning.
The staff works as a team, sharing teaching activities and contributing to programs that are carefully devised to nurture the emotional, physical, psychological and intellectual development of each child. Staff’s first and foremost job is in providing a warm, friendly, nurturing and respectful environment for your child during their early childhood years.
Our Director and Group Leaders are actively involved in the centre’s curriculum so they can help your child achieve a well balanced early developmental program. They have come from a range of differing perspectives, both traditional and alternative and are actively engaged in ongoing professional development. This ensures all centre staff remain current in using the most effective learning and teaching strategies, based on educational research.
We employ a range of qualified staff from: • University trained teachers with a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood). • TAFE trained graduates with a Diploma of Community Services (Children's Services). • Our Child care workers hold a Certificate III in Children's Services. • We endeavour to build a balanced team from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and qualifications. • Trainees work under the close supervision of our Centre Director and Room Leaders. Traineeships support staff in commencing their careers in an environment which supports best practices; a good start for their future.
Our staff have knowledge, training and experience in early childhood education and care. The staff works as a team and are committed to making your child's day happy, safe and educationally stimulating. All our staff members are screened through a Working with Children Check carried out by the Commission for Young Children. Our staffing philosophy is to provide the best working conditions for our staff, who in turn provide the best care and education for your children.
Casual Staff Our staffing policy, rosters and procedures reduce the level of casual staff to ensure continuity for your children. Casual staff are only employed when necessary to ensure we maintain adult: child ratios.
Students and Trainees Students from Universities, TAFE Colleges, school work experience and Job Start Programs may participate in our programs at the centre, as a requirement of their studies. Students use their time at the centre to extend and develop their skills. Our centre supports the training of students and employment of trainees to extend and develop their knowledge and skills. We view this support in providing positive experiences for students and trainees as our contribution to the development of staff in the Early Childhood Field.
Volunteers Volunteers are welcome at the centre and the Director ensures their suitability prior to their placement. If you or someone you know would like to come to the centre as a volunteer please talk to the Director.
