Service Review

Our centre supports positive learning experiences, in a
warm, fun and friendly atmosphere which will foster each child’s sense of
self-worth, nurture positive group relationships and encourage cooperative and
collaborative behaviour.

Children at Gymea Pre-Kindergarten will be immersed in a
learning world of excellence enhanced

through modern facilities and highly trained motivated team
of staff who are dedicated to providing the most up to date early childhood
developmental programs.

Gymea Pre-Kindergarten places an importance on providing a
learning program that is responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths
and abilities, learnt through play. An importance is put on childhood as a time
of belonging, being and becoming.

We believe all children learn through different stimulus and
should be part of a supportive and equipped environment, which encourages and
stimulates children’s ability to learn.

We recognises that children experience life at their own
level. We support this by accepting each child for their uniqueness and
challenging their own interests, talents and abilities. 

Our environment will promote each child’s sense of autonomy
by providing choices.

Play provides the foundation for learning as it allows
children to make sense of their world, play is the natural way to learn.

Play is:

•             Spontaneous

•             Self-initiated

•             A way of
finding out about people

•             A way of
learning to interact and communicate with people

•             A means
of thinking, a means of developing and practicing skills

•             An
opportunity for children to use their curiosity to explore, experiment, and
test ideas

•             A way of
nurturing creativity and a means of self- expression

•             Make
discoveries

•             Construct
knowledge

•             Express
themselves

Gymea Pre-Kindergarten will provide a physically safe and
emotionally secure setting.

Gymea Pre-Kindergarten promotes an OPEN DOORS POLICY.
