About the

FAMILY

FUTURE - Growing a community of citizens and life ready learners, encouraging independence and a thirst to explore learning through our curriculum.

Creating a sense of belonging  and understanding of what has come before and working together for what is to come with a proactive attitude for a sustainable future. 

ACCEPTANCE - We acknowledge that there are multiple ways of knowing, doing and being. We value each of our families and recognize their importance as contributors to our learning to seek a better understanding.

Advocating for the UN convention rights of the child and for the rights of our Educational team to continue to grow our professional image and the importance of Early Childhood Education. 

MEANINGFUL - We practice holistic, integrate and interconnected approaches in order to build responsive and meaningful learning relationships with our children, our families and our community.

Our Educators ensure that we are attuned to and respond in ways that best suit each child's strengths and capabilities. Promoting self-regulation, self esteem, resilience and well being.  

LEARNING - Happens organically within our environment with a calm, familiar and natural atmosphere.

Is a continual journey and educators are committed to injecting pedagogical practices that support individual styles of learning, enhance developmental skills and build true connections. 

IMPROVEMENT - We embed practices that promote continual, purposeful and authentic improvements.

Our Preschool is committed to promoting a culture of accountability and critical reflective practices with all citizens of the Preschool community.

YOUNG CHILDREN - Children are recognized as capable, involved explorers and investigators. Who make a valuable contribution to not only their community but to the world.

Branxton preschool will always advocate for children's needs and provide an opportunity to rest for both their physical and mental wellbeing.

At Branxton Preschool we acknowledge the Wonnarua People as the true custodians of the land where we play, learn and grow each day. We acknowledge the Elders past, present and future for the wisdom and knowledge they hold and share, and support emerging leaders in our local community.

We strive to continuously grow our knowledge and understanding of Australia's First Nations peoples and.......histories on our journey for reconciliation, so we can naturally and authentically embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, history and knowledge into our learning environment and experiences.

We are committed to the process of Reconciliation and the vision for a just, inclusive, equitable and culturally respectful society with strong relationships between our broader community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families

Our vision for the future is that all children feel connected, welcomed and heard as we walk together on Wonnarua land. To empower our children to strive to become tomorrow's leaders by providing a different dialogue that combats racism in Australia's evolving reconciliation journey.

Accountability

We will continue to be active and accountable team members by following through with our professional goals. We will be accountable for our personal growth and overall commitment to Early Childhood Education by continuing our professional learning and supporting the preschool curriculum in a holistic sense. We will show, through our actions and behaviours, that we are professionals and in doing this we will advocate for the rights of children, families and our profession.

Connection

We believe that connections are the foundations of all learning. We are committed to building positive relationships with children, families, each other, and the community, to enhance our learning journey. We will continue to value strong, stable and reciprocal relationships.

Authenticity

We respect the importance of authenticity in our practice and pedagogy. Our philosophy is our core belief, the essence of what our preschool holds near and dear. We believe that being authentic in our practice is the heart of quality early education. We will commit to sharing the workload and being positive role models to not only the children but each other.

Wellbeing

We will ensure our wellbeing is not compromised by placing importance on our own emotional intelligence, physical health, social connection, and purpose to thrive within our preschool. Being well in the holistic sense allows us to provide a happy, nurturing, safe space for our children, families and the community.
