GOSFORD PRE-SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

GOSFORD PRE-SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY


Gosford Pre-School is a well-established, innovative, high quality community pre-

school, rich in education and experience for children to grow and flourish within. We

are proud to have taught generations of families for over 60 years of operation. We

see every child and their family as unique, valuing the experience, knowledge, and

culture they bring to our pre-school community. Gosford Pre- School proudly

provides an education which is meaningful and purposeful.


CHILDREN


The children are the centre of our program. We recognise and value each child’s

individual interests, strengths, needs and knowledge. Our established warm and

inviting environment, promotes the positive development of each child’s social and

emotional well-being. We value providing an inclusive, engaging, and respectful

environment which guides children’s positive behaviour and encourages them to

take responsibility for their own actions and build an awareness of others around

them.


PROGRAM


The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standard (NQS)

guide our program and practices. The aim of our program is to establish a positive

attitude towards learning by providing a balance of interest-based experiences,

group learning experiences, and school readiness activities to prepare children for

the school environment ahead. Our balanced routine provides familiarity and

predictability for children and aims to develop the skills necessary for lifelong

learning.


We believe that play and learning are intrinsically linked. Our program promotes and

focuses on learning through social interactions, open-ended play, discoveries, hands

on and meaningful experiences, risky and active play, exploring concepts,

imaginative play, and group learning experiences, in an environment that has a

holistic approach. We provide a positive, supportive environment rich in literacy, Key

Word Signing, numeracy, culture, and STEAM experiences.


SUSTAINABILITY & ENVIRONMENT


Our sustainable practices are embedded throughout our daily routine. We instil a

love for nature and believe in teaching children about their environmental footprint.

We provide the children with the necessary tools and knowledge about sustainability

to become actively involved in practices that will positively impact our environment.

We promote an appreciation and respect for nature through intentional teaching and

hands-on learning.


EDUCATORS


We pride ourselves on having high quality, experienced educators who are

passionate about the importance of Early Childhood Education. We believe the early

years are critical to creating successful learners, with educators seeing themselves

as facilitators. Our educators are dedicated to ongoing learning and critical reflection

for continuous improvement of our practices.


Educators aspire to connect with each child, supporting individuals to be engaged in

their learning, and as active participants within an environment that fosters the love

of learning. Educators support children's individual learning styles which allows all

children to reach their full potential.


RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY


Gosford Pre-School acknowledges and respects the uniqueness of each child and

their family, culture, structure, language, beliefs, and customs. Children are treated

with equity and their diverse backgrounds acknowledged by integrating the unique

cultures of our families and the local community.


ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CULTURE


We believe in educating all children about Aboriginal history, pedagogy and culture,

and value our role in creating a positive perspective, appreciation, and

understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and lives. Aboriginal

and Torres Strait Islander culture is embedded within our program through daily

practices and teachings. Our bush classroom offers a hands-on experience with

nature to explore our land and allows children to connect with country.


FAMILY & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS


We recognise, value and respect the importance of fostering relationships with

families and the wider community. By building trusting and collaborative partnerships

with families and community partners, we establish open communication to support

children. We value providing a space where children and their families feel a sense

of belonging.
