At Wattle, we provide a loving, educational and happy environment where the children come first. Wattle is a supportive and nurturing community, which involves the children, their families and caring staff. Every child is respected because of their uniqueness. 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. Children are actively encouraged to be involved in decision making opportunities, to learn respect, fairness and social justice, and to accept diversity. To use only positive management strategies when dealing with children’s behaviour, to provide positive guidance and boundaries so children can understand behavioural limits. To provide support, assistance and information to parents on early childhood development whenever requested and ensure parents are actively informed of, and welcomed to participate in, child care activities.
