OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Glass Street Kindergarten, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring environment where all children, families, and educators feel a sense of belonging. Our kindergarten is a place where community, family, and cultural diversity are celebrated, and everyone’s contributions are valued and respected.
We believe that all children are capable, curious, and competent learners. By fostering a safe, happy, and welcoming space, we empower children to feel confident and comfortable to explore, discover, and express themselves. Learning through play is central to our approach, as it is through play that children develop essential skills, form meaningful connections, and nurture their overall wellbeing.
Our educators embrace a child-centred philosophy, listening to and respecting each child’s voice. They create open-ended, responsive environments that stimulate curiosity, creativity, and growth, while supporting and scaffolding children’s individual learning journeys.
Family-centred practice is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to form strong, inclusive, and trusting partnerships with families, recognising their invaluable role in their children’s learning and development. We value the diversity of our community and actively embrace and respect the cultures, traditions, and perspectives of all families.
Our kindergarten is deeply rooted in its local community, enriched by the contributions of past, present, and future generations. We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of the Land, recognising their enduring connection to country and the importance of their wisdom and culture.
At Glass Street Kindergarten, our educators are committed to reflective practice and continuous improvement. We believe that by learning and growing together, we can create joyful, meaningful educational experiences that inspire every child to thrive and contribute to their world.
