Relationships are a key component to a child’s Development including their health and well- being. Educators encourage children to be capable and competent learners within their learning atmosphere, making sure that all children in our care are supported to develop according to their own learning style.

We recognise that all children are competent individuals who have many strengths and abilities, and learning is lifelong. Children are challenged and inspired to test their capabilities and ideas on life and the world around them.

Educators set up stimulating learning environments that let the children make choices this encourages the children to investigate and explore all essential components in building a strong identity. Play is also how young children develop their development milestones within their room atmosphere.

Educators endeavour to challenge their own professional knowledge and understanding of children’s learning, through staff meetings and on the floor open discussion with team members as we aim to enrich each children’s experiences so that they develop a sense of self-achievement.

Kiddie Academy Orange’s learning environment plays a key role to support the children to thrive as they are suited to their interests and developmental stages. Our layout of the environment promotes family grouping play and supporting between age groups in everyday routines.

Resources are thoughtfully added to the environment to promote a homelike atmosphere within a caring and stimulating environment in which all children can feel safe and secure from the strong bonding relationship they have with their room educators.
