About Brookvale Early Learning Centre

We believe that child care is an essential requirement for working families, fostering community ties and meeting the emotional, educational and social needs of young children. Only quality child care can meet these requirements. We believe that quality care means:

  • appropriately designed buildings and play spaces
  • developmental learning programmes designed to suit the individual needs of each child
  • carefully selected resources
  • regular in-servicing and evaluation of staff
  • periodic assessment of management procedures
  • staff who are qualified, experienced and sensitive to each child’s needs
  • close consultation with parents, carers and the local community

We believe that our centre exceeds these requirements.

Our philosophy is simple:

  • We support and encourage the interest and involvement of parents and carers
  • We believe that the quality of early relationships and experiences and environment strongly influence children
  • We believe that each child comes to the centre with a different set of experiences, knowledge and interests and we seek to build on the child’s home experience, and acknowledge the range of cultural backgrounds of families
  • We believe that language and learning go hand-in-hand to increase children’s concept development, social relationships and understanding of the world around them
  • We believe that play is essential to young children’s learning
  • We believe that each child has the right to develop a strong sense of trust, self-esteem, self respect and dignity as a human being.
  • We believe that children should be given time to grow, to reflect and to experience success so that they are able to face future challenges, build on their strengths and accept their individual limitations without fear of failure and loss of self-esteem. Competition between children will be discouraged.
  • We believe in encouraging the growth, maturation and development of skills for each individual child across all development areas: emotional, social, physical, intellectual and moral
  • Our childcare centre is a resource for parents, families, students, child care service providers and teachers.
