A loving, curious, nurturing place to grow.
Hatchlings Early Learning has a philosophy built on a sound Christian ethos — a quiet commitment to provide a loving, nurturing, caring environment for every child, every family and every educator who walks through our doors.
Our philosophy focuses on respecting and valuing each child as an individual — fostering confidence and self esteem through challenging, developmentally appropriate experiences that build on their abilities and interests.
We acknowledge that children are full of curiosity about themselves, their environment and the world they live in. We encourage them to be explorers — to make their own discoveries about themselves, others and the world through exploration, investigation and play.
We believe open, honest and positive communication promotes a harmonious environment which fosters active partnerships between children, parents and educators.
At Hatchlings, we commit to the following:
- 1
Deliver high quality educational programs that reflect both the Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.
- 2
Promote and maintain the health and safety of all children at all times — physical activity, hygiene, rest, nutrition and managing illness.
- 3
Work together as educators toward the common goal of high quality education and care, supporting each other through reflective practice.
- 4
Model meaningful, respectful interactions so children experience inclusive, equitable relationships every day.
- 5
Welcome families warmly and actively involve them in their child's individual learning journey and our wider community.
- 6
Serve our community with warmth and care, grounded in a sound Christian foundation that respects and reflects every culture.
- 7
Commit to continuous improvement through reflective leadership, sound systems and policies aligned with national law.
A foundation for life
Early learning forms the foundation for the skills needed for life. Our goal is to create a nurturing, challenging and stimulating environment where children grow to their full potential — with a sense of belonging, well-being, self esteem and a love for others.
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original inhabitants of this land and recognise these unique cultures as part of the cultural heritage of all Australians. We pay our respect to the Elders of this land — past, present and future.
