Our Philosophy
‘The Wahroonga Pre School Philosophy is a very important document that underpins everything we do at the kinder and how we do it.
It guides the educators on how to design and implement the childrens’ programs
It is the basis of how we interact with and nurture each child. It conveys how we should engage, partner with and communicate with families.
For the committee of management, it underpins decision-making processes.
We invite you to read our Philosophy below.
At Wahroonga:
We believe in recognising the uniqueness of each child and family and the need for children to develop an understanding and respect for self and others.
We believe by fostering each child’s self esteem this enables them to reach their full potential.
We believe in the provision of a stimulating and responsive environment where positive reinforcement and encouragement make learning possible.
We believe in the provision of open-ended experiences for children to explore, experiment, create, problem solve, develop independence and actively participate in their own learning.
We acknowledge, celebrate and incorporate the culture and diversity of families and people within our community.
We recognise and value the knowledge and commitment of the staff and fully support their professional development.
We acknowledge the importance of children, parents and staff working in partnership in a learning community that promotes the wellbeing, education and development of all children.
We recognise the value and equal importance of the indoor and outdoor environments to enhance children’s learning.
We believe in respecting the kindergarten and global environment by contributing to a sustainable future by recycling, reusing, composting, gardening and being water wise.
