Stringybark Child Care Service incorporates a model of family grouping allowing all age groups and siblings to be together. We believe that children derive positive learning and mentoring opportunities from working and playing with different age groups.
As a dedicated team, we will work in collaborative ways to share our knowledge and expertise. We understand the importance of reflective practice to inform decisions and lead to more detailed understandings of our work with children. We will play and work with children to discover ideas, provide opportunities for learning and engage in active research alongside them. We acknowledge that learning is life-long and we are committed to on-going professional development.
Our Vision Creating confident children in a learning community We acknowledge the work of the educators in Reggio Emilia and incorporate the National Quality Standards (COAG 2012) and the Early Years Learning Framework (DEEWR 2009) into our daily practices.
