Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

Guppy's vision is to provide exceptional childcare through personalised service founded on respect for children, their families, and educators. We adhere to the guiding principles of the National Quality Framework, including the Early Years Learning Framework, My Time Our Place Framework, and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline.

We create a safe and secure environment that allows children to develop uniquely through exploration and discovery. Our programs are designed to reflect each child's individual needs and interests, encouraging diverse forms of learning, self-expression, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

We value and embrace the diversity of all children, regardless of their cultural background, disability, gender, beliefs, or attitudes. Every child is treated equally, and we celebrate their efforts and skills. Our goal is to enhance children's self-esteem, foster positive relationships, and equip them with life skills for active participation in the community.

Multiculturalism is woven into our centre's fabric, where we share and appreciate different cultures and beliefs without bias or discrimination.

Guppy’s Thornlands is an amazing child care centre. I always admire the fact that there is so many staff and so many children, yet my son is always greeted by his name, asking questions about him and making him feel special every single day.<br><br>Like most children, he will have good days and hard days, but on the hard days he will always tell me that the teachers and carers made him feel better. He feels safe there and he is always telling me things he learnt which is very important when he is close to going to school. The staff will take time to mention anything important that happened during the day, not just using an app or email to communicate.<br><br>They challenge him and are actively teaching him things, not just baby sitting. Would highly recommend!!

My two boys have been going to Guppy’s since they were 9 months old. One is now in the Kindy room, and the other is in the Toddlers room. They love making new friends, playing on the yard and taking part in all the fun and stimulating activities.<br><br>Guppy’s has always been accommodating to our family’s food preferences, and the staff are very friendly and caring. Most importantly, my boys absolutely love all the cuddles they can get! We are very happy with the care and experiences they receive at Guppy’s.

We absolutely love this childcare centre! The educators are so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s happiness and development. My daughter has grown in confidence, made wonderful friendships, and looks forward to going every day. The communication with families is fantastic, and I always feel reassured that she’s in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
