Our Philosophy

We are Woodport Early Learning Centre.

Our philosophy

What guides everything we do

Our philosophy shapes how we care, how we teach, and how we partner with families, every day, in every room. It was developed with our whole team in March 2024, and it lives in our programs, our practices and our relationships.

We believe

  • In a commitment to providing a flexible, intimate, safe, and inclusive environment.
  • The Early Years Learning Framework underpins our practice; this drives our belief in learning through play.
  • Care forms the foundations of connections that foster bonds of trust and enriches a commitment to wellbeing.

We value

  • Partnerships with children and families, building on connections that are respectful, trusting, and meaningful.
  • Celebrating our community and nurturing a respect for its diversity, cultures, traditions, and values.
  • Embedding sustainable practices for our children and to create a generation of humans who understand how to nurture and care for their world.

We are

  • Professionals who are qualified, knowledgeable, and eager to share a passion for early childhood education.
  • A team who intentionally share, connect, and collaborate for continuity of care and learning.
  • Lifelong learners who critique, review, and reflect on our pedagogical practices, building our skills and professional engagement.
