As a Centre Director, my philosophy is centred around providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment for children to learn and grow.

I believe that play is a vital component of a child’s development. I promote a play-based learning approach that allows children to engage in hands-on, experimental activities that foster their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development., through play, children can develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and a love for learning,

I believe in putting the needs and interests of each child at the forefront of our program. This means recognising and respecting their individuality, strengths, and unique learning styles. I strive to create an environment where children feel valued, heard, and empowered to explore and express themselves.

I believe in building strong partnerships with families. I value open and ongoing communication with parents, involving them in their child’s learning journey, and respecting their cultural backgrounds and beliefs. Collaboration between families and the centre is essential in creating a supportive and inclusive environment for children.

The Whiz Kids program is holistic and encompasses key areas of the children’s learning and development. The programs are:

• Whiz Kids Move: helps the children to develop their fine and gross motor skills through daily movement activities. The children learn about living active and healthy lives, lessons they will carry for life.
• Whiz Kids Explore: children are encouraged to use their senses to engage with the world around them. They get their hands dirty and learn about early scientific principles. Together they conduct experiments and learn about the physical and natural world they live in.
• Whiz Kids Create: with a focus on music, art and languages, the children develop their creative thinking. From drawing and painting to banging on drums, self-expression is encouraged.
• Whiz Kids Self: this program supports the children’s social and emotional development, ensuring they feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging. 

Whiz Kids Sustainability: through hands-on lessons about recycling and hygiene, the children learn about sustainability practices and caring for the environment.

The Whiz Kids educators value open and honest communication with parents. They know that parents are the most important people in a child’s life and their engagement in their daily activities is critical. To support this, the educators are available to discuss the children’s learning with parents on a regular basis.

The educators use the conversations with parents to support the children’s learning. They start to build connections between home and the centre to enhance the children’s wellbeing and desire to learn.

Parents are also encouraged to get involved in the centre through activities such as cooking. They can participate in cooking experiences alongside the children and even share their family recipes.

Throughout each day, the educators update Kinderloop, the parent communication app, with information such as the children’s nutritional intake. Parents can access this information to feel more connected to their child’s day at Whiz Kids.
