Our Vision

Kuraby Grove & Koala Calamvale Childcare Centres have a strong vision for children’s learning. We believe that all children are unique and capable individuals who are deserving of the very best care and education. Our philosophy is built on the foundation of respect, partnership, and collaboration. Our vision for children’s learning is:

Children should experience belonging in all aspects of their lives and the world around them.
For children to have a strong sense of being within their world. To feel safe and secure to explore, create, engage, and challenge themselves.
We strive to assist children to become confident, secure, skilled, happy, and healthy individuals with a strong sense of self and identity.
We believe in partnerships – developing a support network between educators, the child and their families.
We believe in high expectations and equity – educators promote a high standard of care and education, respect, and equality for all children, supporting all children’s unique learning capacity.
We believe in respect for diversity – promoting and respecting diversity, challenging bias and gaining a strong understanding of families’ cultures and values for their children.
We believe in ongoing learning and reflective practice – by implementing the method of continuous improvement planning, educators recognise and engage in reflective evaluation within their roles as educators.

We are dedicated to providing a stimulating and supportive environment that helps all children reach their full potential.
