Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy
Childhood
We recognise childhood as a special time in itself; a time for all children to be immersed in secure and trusting environments that allow them to explore, play, discover and learn. We nurture the development of identity, confidence and capability which form the foundations of a lifelong love of learning. We ensure the voices of children contribute to the work that we do and the decisions we make.
Integrity & Relationships
We act with honesty, openness and consistency. Our relationships are respectful, mutual and reciprocal and are built on trust, authenticity and ethical behaviour. We welcome feedback and make decisions that are responsible and fair.
Leadership
We are driven by the passionate pursuit of quality early childhood education and encourage others to share that journey. We lead by example, drawing on our experience and knowledge to shape early childhood education thinking, policy and practice.
Innovation
We have the courage to pursue bold visions of the future. We are committed to continual professional learning and organisational development. We collaborate and explore new ideas and different ways of thinking.
Sustainability
We acknowledge and consider both our heritage and our future. We embrace our responsibilities within the world around us – to our children and communities, our people, our environments and the long term sustainability of our organisation.
Diversity & Inclusion
We recognise that everyone has their own culture, beliefs, values and strengths contributing to our rich and diverse community. We embrace, advocate for, and invest in the rights of all children to access and actively participate in our programs and have a sense of truly belonging.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum
At KU Maybanke, childhood is celebrated. When they play and explore, children's imagination and curiosity is sparked – they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.
We have a strong focus on ‘School Readiness’ and ‘School Transition’ for both children and their families. We support school readiness by assisting children to develop skills in literacy, numeracy and self-care at their own pace.
As families arrive through the front door, we aim to establish immediate rapport and a sense of belonging in our community. We value strong relationships between our staff, children and families.
Programs

Programs
At KU Maybanke, our program facilitates each child’s learning and development in relation to their identity, connection with community, wellbeing, confidence as learners and effectiveness as communicators. We view children as active contributors to their learning and we listen to their voices, empower them to make choices and include them in decision-making.
We provide a stimulating environment with plenty of uninterrupted time for play in both our indoor and outdoor spaces, giving children variety and choice. Children access these areas on their own as they pursue their own interests and build on their skills.
