Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

“We believe children thrive when they are happy, healthy, safe, and engaged in learning. Staff work alongside children to ensure they are challenged and encouraged to explore their natural curiosity, develop and test theories and think critically about their world. Each child is loved and nurtured as we partner with families as active participants in the education process.”

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, the curriculum at Gumnut Kindergarten aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. The curriculum is based on a number of core beliefs:

  • Children are competent, capable and deeply curious. We actively listen to children’s voices, documenting their thoughts, ideas and questions.
  • Children are active learners who are eager to explore, to work with others and engage in the process of learning. We value this process seeking to support them in all their investigations.
  • Children are protagonists of their own learning. They are intelligent and intent on making sense of the world through a constant process of constructing knowledge.
  • Children have a right to realise their potential and be recognised as citizens of their world. 

The educators support each child in their discovery as they develop their own unique ideas and interests. The curriculum is play-based with activities including painting, drama, water play, storytelling, music and outdoor activities.

During the school holidays I took my son and daughter Alisha to the zoo. We missed the seal show, so I told the children we would return the next day. When the day arrived Alisha realised that she would miss Kindy if she went to the zoo and asked to be dropped to Kindy instead of returning for the seal show at the zoo. We love Gumnut Kindergarten. Every day our daughter is so happy to attend.

Such an amazing little preschool with a community vibe. My daughter (and myself) have always felt well supported during our time here.
