[gillharbans]

Read the following service philosophy and answer the questions that follow. Remember that this is the philosophy of one service and each service has their own interpretation of how the framework and other aspects of the curriculum are implemented.


Service philosophy


At One World Children’s Centre our philosophy is to support children to develop to their maximum potential in their social, emotional, personal, moral, cognitive and physical growth. We are committed to enhancing children’s self-esteem through daily interactions, developmentally appropriate experiences and relationships based on mutual trust and respect. Further, we honour the child’s right to play, in acknowledgment of the major contribution of play to development, in a safe and stimulating environment.

At the Centre we strive to develop positive, supportive relationships with families, based on open communication and sharing of knowledge and skills. We consider each family unique in its structure, culture and values and respect the special relationship between children and their families, incorporating this perspective in all interactions with children. We believe that together the staff and the parents create a partnership that provides for the best interests of young children and families.

We recognise staff as our most precious resource and aim to provide them with a satisfying, stimulating and safe working environment. We ensure staff are supported to reflect on their practices regularly and encourage all educators to contribute their ideas toward the daily curriculum.

The Centre aims to equip the children with life skills that will enable them to experience fulfilling and rewarding participation within their community, through providing opportunities to work together cooperatively, to explore human relationships and to practice nonviolent conflict resolution strategies.

The Centre aims to develop and implement environmentally sound practices that recognise our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment, and to foster in children an ongoing commitment to caring for the world in which they live.

We aim to provide a high quality service to children, their families and the community.

At One World Children’s Centre the program planning philosophy is designed to reflect the needs of the children in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework and My Time, Our Place – Framework for School Age Care in Australia. Programming covers all learning outcomes: identity, community, wellbeing, learning and communication.

The Early Years Learning Framework and Framework for School Age Care describe childhood as a time of belonging, being and becoming. We incorporate these three elements into our planning:
Belonging is the basis for living a fulfilling life – children feel they belong because of the relationships they have with their family, community, culture and place.
Being is about living here and now – childhood is a special time in life and children need time to just ‘be’ – time to play, try new things and have fun.
Becoming is about the learning and development that young children experience – children start to form their sense of identity from an early age, which shapes the type of adult they will become.

Play is the learning process that enables children to learn through concrete hands-on experiences such as doing, experimenting, predicting, trial and error, and achieving. As children play to learn, they bring their own unique talents to the education process.

All children have the right to participate in the program by ensuring children of differing genders, abilities and cultures have equal access to experiences and equipment provided within the program.

A variety of multicultural, non-gender-biased, additional needs and environmentally sensitive equipment is used within the Centre. Books, music and posters allow the children to see a well-balanced perspective of the world that subtly convey messages of sustainability, peace and respect.

The programs incorporate ideas and principles of Steiner, Montessori and Reggio Emilia ensuring that our programs are of best practice.

Parent participation and involvement is an important aspect of the overall program planning process. It is essential to maintain continuity between the home, the community and the Centre, to give the children a sense of belonging. We also endeavour to involve parents to ensure a collaborative approach to the overall development of each child’s experience within the program.

All transition times, including mealtimes, sleep times, toileting and nappy-changing times, are used as learning experiences as well as relaxed social times for both the staff and children.
