Quality interactions make the difference in empowering children in developing into effective adults in our diverse world of changing times. Children learn through experiences they have with their families and with the wider community. Brain research on children under five has found a direct link between these experiences and future development.
At Bambini of Lilyfield we practise ongoing inclusive practices which highlight our relationships with children, employees and families. Community features strongly in the experiences at Bambini. Bambini of Lilyfield ‘Inspires young minds’ through Quality in Teaching and Learning and this is important for everyone in the Early Childhood Education industry.
