Our Philosophy

At Tiny Treasures Early Learning Centre we believe that children need a safe, secure and nurturing environment to develop to their full potential.

We believe that the foundations laid in the early childhood years are crucial to their being, belonging and becoming. We have developed educationally appropriate curriculums that support the Early Years Learning Framework to while acknowledging the importance of learning through play. We believe that play is the means of which learning takes place. Play is the young child’s way of learning, children learn through their ability to touch, manipulate and experiment with materials and through their interactions with others.

It is our strong belief that each child is given the opportunity to evolve and develop in an environment which supports and develops their individualism as well as nurturing their strengths, aspirations and sense of self. 

It is our aim to provide an open and friendly environment where all parents/educators and children feel accepted and wanted regardless of culture, religious and family beliefs, socio-economic status, gender or abilities. We believe that all children are individuals and should be treated as such. We acknowledge each child’s individual needs and rights for self-expression. We aim to create an environment that fosters positive self-esteem and confidence and promotes the feeling of security. 

We believe in working with parents and families to create an atmosphere of trust and open communication to provide the best care possible for each individual child. We recognise the family unit as the primary educators in a child’s life and value the role of this unit in the centre’s program and policy decisions.

We believe the curriculum should be sensitive to the needs of non-English and English speaking children, by supporting diversity in the centre through an appropriate multicultural program acknowledging each individual child’s background
