St Paul’s Lutheran Kindergarten is a family focused, community based and inclusive organisation which collaborates with families to empower children in their lifelong learning journey.
OUR CHILDREN: We recognise children as competent and capable Beings who bring to our service a unique set of experiences, hopes and understandings. We believe in building meaningful relationships with children and empowering them to explore the world through play-based learning. Our environment is one of inclusion, kindness and respect, where all children have the opportunity to express themselves and feel a sense of belonging.
OUR PEOPLE: We identify educators as being our greatest assets. We collaborate and support each other to create a professional, passionate and positive working community. Our educators show courage in providing innovative approaches to education, empowered to continuously improve and celebrate achievements along the way.
OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY: We believe families are the most important people in their children’s lives. We consider partnerships with families as a fundamental component of children’s learning. We build on trust and collaborative relationships with families as we educate and care for their children. We ensure each family is treated with kindness, respect and feels included in our diverse community through open communication and involvement in activities and events.
OUR ORGANISATION AND PROMISE: We are enthusiastic and passionate about the role we have in the lives of our children. We promise that children’s voices are the most important part of our program and for that reason all children are given the opportunity to have input into the program with ideas and suggestions. We promise; open, honest and respectful interactions will always guide our practices. We are committed to excellence. We seek to continually refine and improve the service we deliver to our children, families and the community by keeping informed of current research and putting best practice in early childhood into action every day. We are committed to sustainability, building relationships in the community and being inclusive of all people from all backgrounds.
