At
Creative Kids we provide
a safe, secure caring
and consistent environment
for all children. Children
will be treated with
respect and dignity.
Children
- We
see all children as
unique individuals
with differing strengths,
needs, interests and
rates of development.
Children will be treated
equitably regardless
of gender, culture,
religion or additional
needs.
- We
promote self confidence
by providing developmentally
appropriate open – ended
experiences which allow
children the opportunity
for experimentation
and exploration.
- We
believe in establishing
genuine relationships
with children by interacting
with their families,
documenting their development,
speaking to children
directly and incorporating
information from other
services and specialists.
Families
- We
acknowledge parents
and carers are the
main influence on children’s
lives and so we aim
to form strong partnerships
with families.
- Families
are welcome to attend
the centre, suggest ideas
and have access to their
child’s
records at anytime.
- We
will support families
in any area needed
and act as a resource
to the best of our
ability.
Programs,
Learning and Environment
- Through
our programming we
will observe individual
children, develop plans
that cater to the individual,
evaluate and reflect
on outcomes.
- Our
programs will cater
to cognitive, social,
physical, emotional
and self help needs.
Programs will reflect
centre philosophy,
developmental and centre
goals and challenge
bias and stereotypes.
- Environment
and routines will
be conducive to learning
and will be flexible
to the needs of the
group and individual
needs. There will
be provision for
individual, small
and whole group experiences.
- For
staff to be reflective
of their performance,
bias and the effect
that this may have
on children in their
care.
Staff
- Our
staff are role models
for children and
we would aim for
their conduct to
be professional and
caring at all times.
- We
acknowledge that
staff abilities can
always be improved
on and so we encourage
further study and
professional development
on a regular basis
for all staff.
- Staff
will behave in a
professional manner
to each other, be supportive,
share ideas and model
appropriate manner
within the team. Staff
will act as advocates
for the child-care
industry and conduct
themselves in a manner
that is reflective
of the ECA Code of
Ethics.
