  • Provide high quality care and education

  • Create a positive indoor/outdoor environment that is inclusive, inviting and rich in possibilities

  • Recognise the cultural diversity of our children, their families and the community

  • Provide information, contacts and support for the children, parents and families

  • Offer a program of experiences which will promote the total development and wellbeing of the children

  • Provide a safe, secure, happy and loving environment where children have a sense of belonging
