Care and Attention for Each Individual Child

Play-Based Learning to Prepare Each Child for Success

We believe in providing an educational program that:

  • Encourages play-based learning, building the foundation for success at school and throughout life
  • Builds a positive attitude to learning and fosters a child’s holistic development
  • Allows a sense of independence to develop
  • Supports children in making friends and positive connections
  • Includes time to explore, investigate, experiment and wonder

Strong Relationships With Families to Create Communities

We believe that a child benefits when we form respectful and real relationships with their family. We achieve this by:

  • Forming open, collaborative and respectful relationships with parents and families
  • Recognising that parents are a child’s first educator
  • Maintaining the highest quality practice and service through a culture of continuous improvement
  • Valuing the happiness of children, families and educators

Welcoming Centres Where Diversity is Celebrated

We believe we can help build respect and appreciation for a diverse community by:

  • Respecting and celebrating each family’s unique values and cultural background
  • Understanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, history and contemporary society
  • Ensuring every child, family and educator is treated equally, regardless of culture, religion, gender, ability or special needs

Caring Educators Who Love Coming to Work

We believe in building a professional team of happy educators by:

  • Empowering educators to become advocates for children and early childhood education
  • Valuing behaviours that are supportive and responsive to the needs of children and families
  • Committing to the principles, practices and outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework

Our Philosophy

Each of our educators and wider team members works within our philosophy. It guides us to create purposeful and innovative learning contexts that uphold their legal, moral, ethical, social and professional obligations. This ensures that each child who joins the Mother Duck family will thrive academically, socially, and culturally. These ideas underpin our philosophy:

Our Impact

The approach we take to our ethics, and social responsibility impacts your child and their educational journey.

Meaningful Experiences

We uphold the rights of all children and invite them to engage in meaningful experiences.

Family & Community

We recognise you, the family, as the child’s first and most important community.

Knowledge

Our educators are lifelong learners and continue to expand their knowledge.

Contribution to the Field

We’re advancing a collective understanding of children, childhood, and professional practice and continue to expand our knowledge.
