Barry Beckett Children’s Centre Philosophy
We believe in creating a centre that is welcoming and responsive to children and families; one that motivates and maintains curious, reflective educators. We see children as citizens now and in the future who teach us as much as we teach them.
We engage in a collaborative approach to our curriculum, with children, families, and educators joining to create a rich and diverse learning experiences. We utilise the latest research and evidence to inform our practice, so that children at BBCC have access to exceptional education and care opportunities.
We are responsive and provide time and space to engage in the “everyday” with children, joining with them in their play to facilitate their learning and grow in their thinking.
We encourage an environment that is inclusive and respectful; one that fosters kindness and is considerate of all living flora and fauna. We support children’s sense of agency and ownership of their developing sense of relationship with others and the natural world.
WE BELIEVE THESE EVERYDAY ACTS AND WAYS OF BEING REALLY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
