Our philosophy
At Carina Kindergarten, we are committed to providing a warm, safe, nurturing, engaging and responsive environment where children are empowered to make decisions about their own learning. Play is the context in which children learn and actively engage with the natural environment, their peers and nurturing adults. Through spontaneous play experiences and intentional teaching strate
gies, staff build and extend children’s knowledge. Each child is supported to develop confidence and resilience in relationships with their peers. Effective safety, health and hygiene practices are promoted and modelled at all times. We aim to build collaborative partnerships with families and the community to enhance a feeling of belonging. We recognise and value the experiences, knowledge, ideas and culture each family brings to the program. Staff and committees work closely together to maintain a professional learning community.
