Our Philosophy

At WAO Early Learning, we take pride in our small and distinctive centres. We value each child as a unique individual and believe in their capabilities as confident learners. Our curriculum is designed to enhance every child's learning and developmental outcomes, encompassing aspects such as their identity, community connections, well-being, confidence as learners, and communication skills. In our secure, friendly, and nurturing environment, we encourage each child to reach their full potential. Our approach revolves around child-centred learning, which is facilitated through staff provocations, carefully planned experiences, and spontaneous activities that take into account the voices of our community as a whole.

We prioritise the development of self-confidence by ensuring that every child's voice is heard, respected, and given the freedom to make choices. We provide individualised care and protection while gently guiding them throughout their journey at WAO Early Learning. We embrace diversity in all its forms and promote cultural awareness. Our approach includes offering spontaneous, interest-driven, and educational experiences that allow children to learn while having fun. Through these opportunities, we encourage discovery and aim to instil a lifelong love for learning. We also strive to foster the children's understanding of and care for the environment, including green and renewable energy.

Recognising our role in supporting children as effective communicators, active learners, and individuals who feel connected to their world, we align our centres and the professional philosophies of our educators. By creating a sense of belonging for each child, we believe they will feel free to embrace their true selves and become something wonderful.

Our top priority is meeting the needs of the children, their families, and our staff to the highest standards possible.
