Elite Childcare's Education and Care Philosophy

We provide educational experiences in all weather conditions exploring and learning from the world and its peoples. Collaborating with children and families to record shared learning journeys.
The Elite Childcare philosophy is influenced by the theorists Frobel, Dewey, Montessori, Louv and Fromm.

The foundations of Elite Childcare practices are:

• children learn through play, exploring real-life situations and will be encouraged to experiment and think for themselves
• children develop their own interests; and work in ways that match and challenge their understanding and appreciation of their world
• children are supported to establish their understanding of unity and interconnectedness, by fostering relationships and social interactions within mixed age groups
• emotional intelligence and resilience are developed by nurturing the instinctive bond between human beings and others living systems.

At the heart of Elite Childcare’s philosophy are educators who:

• have knowledge of child development
• establish positive working relationships with families and children
• want to continue learning and use reflective professional practice
• operate their services within ethical business guidelines.

The Elite Childcare philosophy upholds the:

• UN Convention for the Rights on the Right of the Child
• Early Childhood Australia’s Code of Ethics
• The Early Years Learning Framework – Belonging, Being and Becoming
• The School Aged Care Learning Framework - My Time, Our Place
• Australian Childrens Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA)
