Philosophy

At Toddlers Ink we believe that the rights of a child are paramount. Our Educators, staff and families have devised a Philosophy that is inclusive of the values and beliefs of offering an integrated service which include; care, education, health, safety, nutrition and wellbeing.We provide a warm, safe, caring and stimulating environment that meets the holistic needs of every child. Through observation and interactions we provide experiences that support every child’s development, unique interests and create opportunities for them to be confident and involved learners. Programs promote equality, inclusion and diversity whilst fostering all aspects of every child’s development; physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.

We are committed to providing an environment for children that encourages a sense of identity, wellbeing, confidence, connection and opportunities to contribute to the world around them. At Toddlers Ink we endeavour to meet the needs of children’s natural curiosity through providing opportunities for children to experiment, take simple risks, discover, solve problems and find out about cause and effect for themselves, and the world around them. Each child has opportunities with guidance to develop self-discipline, take responsibility and achieve independence.

The vital role of parents, guardians and their families, as the first Educator is respected and supported. Toddlers Ink Children’s Learning Centre encourages parents, guardians and the wider community to be involved in the day to day operations of the Centre. In a number of ways; such as volunteering for special events/excursions, contributing as a member of the Parent Committee, being a part of our parents skills register or in other capacities, thus sharing in their child’s experience at the Centre.

We recognise the commitment, skills and energy of our Educators are crucial elements of our centre.
