Edge Port Adelaide 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.

At Edge Port Adelaide, our commitment lies in empowering children to learn, grow, and develop according to their unique abilities and preferences. We aim to be respectful of the natural environment and improve learning outcomes as we educate children about the world around them. Our teaching philosophy is based on inquiry, enabling children to explore their environment and develop confidence as learners.

Emphasising cultural and community ties, we integrate these values into our education approach, aiming for a brighter collective future. Our team is devoted to nurturing strong relationships with families through transparent communication.

We welcome you to join us for a tour centre and look forward to collaborating with you to ensure we achieve the best outcomes for your child.

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 Port Adelaide, 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
