The belief and values of the staff and families at Mary Poppins Nannies have been consolidated to form our philosophy on the care and education of children in our care. We welcomes all families, recognising the diversity of people’s beliefs, cultures, values and abilities within our community. We aim to assist in the development of confident, happy and capable children, familiar with the local community and confident in venturing forth. We believe that children’s development is influenced by the social and cultural context in which they live. We therefore strongly support the development of partnerships with parents based on mutual respect, valuing and welcoming their input and involvement. Our belief of the value of play is formed from teachings of a range of early childhood theories and beliefs. We have included aspects of all in order to provide what we believe to be “best practice”. Play is the vehicle through which children learn about themselves and their surroundings. Individualised programs, to provide positive and challenging experiences assists in the development of the whole child: emotionally, socially, cognitively and physically. Management is committed to addressing the needs of families, staff and the community. We aim to consult with involved parties on various issues of policy and procedure development. Our professional, caring, sensitive, informed and committed staff work together to meet the goals of our service. Staff have access to services and facilities within the community to enhance their abilities to provide for the children’s needs. We aim to develop positive and nurturing relationships with each child. |
