Belonging- acknowledges children\u2019s interdependence with others (family, a cultural group, a neighbourhood, and a wider community) and the basis of relationships in defining identities. Being \u2013 recognises the importance of the here and now in children\u2019s lives. Becoming \u2013 reflects the process of rapid and significant change that occurs in the early years. At Kiddie Academy\u00a0Alexandria,\u00a0we value and believe in a homelike atmosphere within a caring and stimulating environment in which all children can feel safe and secure. We believe all children, families and educators have a right to be treated with fairness and equity, have the same opportunities for participation and are accepted as valued members of the community. Relationships are important to a child\u2019s health, well-being and development.\u00a0Educators view children as capable and competent learners\u00a0supporting each child to develop to their fullest potential.\u00a0The children\u2019s voices are utilised into the creation and delivery of the program.\u00a0We believe our practice is informed by critical reflections and these practices are embedded through our Educator interactions with children and how the children\u00a0integrate\u00a0the knowledge they have learnt into their daily lives.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span> [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Children’s experiences” _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Through current theories, professional knowledge and understanding of child learning and developmental practices, we aim to enrich each child\u2019s experiences so that they develop a sense of self-achievement. Through\u00a0the\u00a0implementation of the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard, we build on children\u2019s interests and knowledge as individuals within the group and wider community. We recognise that all children are competent individuals who have many strengths and abilities and learning is lifelong. We value inspiring children to explore and learn through play.

We acknowledge and respect the many\u00a0different\u00a0social and cultural backgrounds of children in our care and the experiences these bring from the home environment. Respecting the needs, feelings and property of others is a mutual practice which assists in the development of compassion in others regardless of age.
