Edge Salisbury Downs 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 3–5 years rooms benefit from a higher 1:9 ratio of educators to children (versus the regulated 1:11 ratio), meaning your child will receive an enhanced level of individualised care and supervision.
• 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.

As a centre director, I believe every child has the right to a safe and nurturing environment where they can explore and learn through play to reach their full potential.

As a team, we are excited to foster a warm, inclusive, and high-quality early childhood educational experience for all our children and families. We will strive to work in partnership with families and the local community to meet the needs of each child’s individual journey. We will offer a curriculum that promotes creativity, curiosity and confidence supported through positive interactions from our experienced team.

We look forward to sharing your child’s early learning experience with you and welcome you into our centre.

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 Salisbury Downs, 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 preschool 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 preschool 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
