Centre Philosophy

At Belmont Early Education Centre, We strive to provide children and families with an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming, nurturing and enjoyable. Our environment will be a place where the children can feel safe, secure and supported as we help guide them through their early years.  

Some of our core values and beliefs at Belmont Early Education Centre are: 

1. The Rights, Safety and Best Interests of each child is paramount. 

2. Children are capable and resourceful learners who actively guide their own learning and the direction of the program.  

3. We promote each child’s confidence and positive self-image through a range of provisions, experiences and opportunities that build upon their understanding, skills, values and emotions.  

4. Trust, respect and collaboration form the basis for strong partnerships between families and educators. Family involvement is important and enables the educators to provide a high quality program. 

5. That children learn through collaboration and communication with other children adults and their environment. Educators will promote health and positive social interactions through role modelling.  

6. Children will have opportunities to develop their learning skills through Language and Literacy, Creative and Expressive Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social and Emotional Development. These opportunities will allow the children to work towards the learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework, ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’ and the Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines.  

7. We will provide a rich and nurturing environment that has the potential to stimulate imagination, promote creativity and enhance aesthetic development. We provide a rich and diverse culture in our environment, which makes the centre feel like a home away from home.  

8. We respect and celebrate diversity within our families, Educators and the wider community. We as a service, play a role in fostering and developing children awareness of cultures with in their environment. 

9. We value that each Educator brings fundamental personal qualities to the centre environment such as empathy, respect, warmth and a passion for educational learning and development.  

10. We believe in celebrating and embedding Australian’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Cultures, as well as others from around the world into our everyday practice.  

11. We believe in a sustainable environment and will try to awaken in each child an appreciation of their natural surrounding and its resources.
