At Bringelly Child Care Centre we see children as unique and capable individuals, who come to our Service with their own interests, talents, skills and ideas. We as Educators value, respect and appreciate this uniqueness. We believe children are active participants in their learning and learn by discovering, exploring and asking questions, which empowers them to construct their own knowledge and express their views and ideas. As we unpack the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) we work alongside the child to actively promote children's learning through worthwhile and challenging experiences and interactions that foster high-level thinking skills.

We feel that a meaningful, integrated, emergent curriculum using the Early Years Learning Framework – Belonging, Being and Becoming – and the School Aged Care Learning Framework – My Time, Our Place – is the most beneficial to children's learning across all developmental domains. Our programs reflect planned and spontaneous experiences, designed to support children's development in all areas. We implement this through a flexible program based on children's observations, interests, intentional teaching, family involvement and reflection. Daily observations, work samples and photos are the methods we use to record children's progress.

We acknowledge and respect that each child is part of a family with values, beliefs and cultures, and that is why we are committed to open and constructive communication with families. We value the roles of families and encourage them to share meaningful ideas, knowledge and experiences on a regular basis. We aim to involve all families in all aspects of the program's development and implementation. We strive to develop positive, mutually respectful relationships with each family member, as we work in partnership to achieve the best possible outcomes for all.

We are committed to employing Educators who have passion and motivation to work with children and families. We believe Educators need to build good relationships with children, families and each other through open communication, trust and respect. We value Educators' input, opinions and beliefs, and support this through daily discussions and planned staff meetings where they share in decision-making and receive feedback. We support Educators in keeping up to date with early childhood education by offering professional development opportunities.

We believe the environment plays an important role in enhancing children's learning and development. Our Educators recognise the importance of providing a safe, secure, homelike and consistent environment that supports trust and familiarity as well as active exploration of learning. Our learning environments are welcoming spaces that reflect and enrich the lives and identities of the children and families participating, and respond to their interests and needs. We cater for different capacities and learning styles and invite children and families to contribute ideas, interests and questions.

We strive to be a centre of excellence for early childhood education within our community by adhering to all legislation, regulations and the National Quality Standard (2018). We believe Bringelly Child Care Centre has an important function to play in the community: to provide children and families with information and support, and a service that reflects their needs — a Service where community resources and events are used effectively to enhance the growth and development of individual children, families and Educators.
