Our  Philosophy

 

We believe that children are brilliant teachers of fun. We as facilitator in their life journey, will support their interests with play and care. We will create a positive play environment and encourage children to interact with others. We are passionate about children because they are rewarding. We believe we as advocates, need to guide children as young members of our community through event participation and celebration. As long as we guide them in a positive way in developing their intellectual and social skills, we can ensure that they become strong, caring, intelligent, and compassionate individuals with a sense of belonging (DEEWR, 2009, p.20). We believe that an individual and group emergent event, based on play, assists in providing a high quality of care, accommodating each child’s wishes. We also believe it is important to reflect the ideas and interests of the children/families to allow them to feel part of the collective, whilst developing a flexible and meaningful learning environment/community (DEEWR, 2009, p.29). We believe that to attain the appropriate fun qualities as facilitators and entertainers, we need to provide a warm, caring, and positive environment for all involved in the event. Recognizing the importance of supporting each other in a teamwork environment is essential.
