Edge Laidley is unwavering in our commitment to ensuring that our centre provides a secure and nurturing environment where your child’s wellbeing is always our top priority.

• Our dedicated team prioritises safeguarding children through daily practices, educational programs, and adherence to national child safety principles.
• Our supervisory and senior staff complete regular Child Protection and Mandatory Reporting training.
• We proudly work with Bravehearts and other similar child safety advocate organisations to strengthen the personal safety education within our programming.
• Our S.A.F.E. framework (Spot, Act, Fix, Explain) requires staff to speak up if they see or suspect something isn’t right. With S.A.F.E. in place, we have created a culture of accountability where reporting is expected and encouraged.
• Our Active Supervision policy ensures all team members understand the importance of Plan, Position, Look & Listen.

I believe in our philosophy and pillars for early learning and I am focused on our team creating lasting relationships with both our children and their families. All children have amazing potential and can blossom in an environment where they are nurtured, supported, and encouraged to explore their interests and talents.

I would like to welcome you and your family to book a tour, meet our team, and experience the centre for yourself.

Edge Early Learning's Teach A Rainbow education program underpins learning in our nursery, toddler, and preschool learning spaces. It has been designed to ensure children are confident and empowered to learn when they start school, giving equal focus to:

• Cognitive,
• Physical, and
• Social and emotional development including self-help skills and building resilience

At Edge Laidley, our early childhood teacher and educators personalise the program to your child’s individual learning goals across 11 Key Learning Areas, aligning with the national Early Years curriculum.

Our team and families alike appreciate the truly holistic growth fostered by the Teach A Rainbow program. Growth that’s founded in a strong partnership and conversation between educators and carers.

We pride ourselves on powerful relationships in early learning. Throughout your child’s kindergarten year, you can expect:

• Collaboration with our teacher to set individual learning goals for your child
• Intentional, planned room transition process to ensure your child settles into their kindy environment
• Summative Assessments provided mid-year, to provide insight into your child’s progression towards their learning goals
• Opportunities to connect with your education team daily, plus at planned learning discussions during the year
• Transition Statement provided to you and your school at the end of the year
