Philosophy
At Sally's Place, we provide a loving, educational and happy environment where the children come first. Sally's Place is a supportive and nurturing community, which involves the children, their families and caring staff.
Our Values:
- The children come first.
- Every child is respected because of their uniqueness.
- Children are able to participate and develop, regardless of class, culture, disability, religion or gender.
- Children are given opportunities to learn and develop to their full potential. A comprehensive range of learning experiences is programmed for the children to participate in each day, allowing choice, practice and challenge.
- We understand the importance and value of play in early childhood. The environment is creative, playful, inviting and nurtures curiosity.
- Children are actively encouraged to be involved in decision making opportunities, to learn respect, fairness and social justice, and to accept diversity.
- Family members are always welcome at Sally's Place. We have an "open door" policy which encourages families to participate in the centre in whatever way suits them best.
- Relationships between staff and parents are professional, friendly and supportive.
- The staff at Sally's Place are integral to the care, enjoyment and safety of the children at the centre. In order to encourage a fun and positive work environment, teamwork is strongly promoted and each staff member's strengths, skills and contribution are valued.
