Our Philosophy

Learning through play in a family-centred community

Our Beliefs & Values

“At Cardiff Community Preschool we believe that all children, families and educators are unique and valued individuals.”

👨‍👩‍👧

Families Are Paramount

We believe the term "Families" is paramount. We are proud of the family-oriented culture that exists amongst children, families and educators at CCPS. Our open-door policy welcomes family participation at any time.

🤝

Open Communication

Educators communicate with families on a consistent basis as we believe this is the only way to truly understand each individual child holistically. When families and educators work together, children thrive.

🌈

Diversity & Equality

We value and respect diversity, equality and celebrate differences. Each person's values, culture, beliefs, abilities, gender preferences and language are acknowledged, accepted and reflected — reinforcing the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics.

Play Is Essential

We believe that play is essential in the lives of young children. Play is an art and is unique to each child — it is how they make sense of their world and it is explored at their own pace.

🌿

Natural Environments

We strive to provide physical environments that are environmentally sustainable and rich in natural foliage — places that are safe, welcoming and inviting, allowing children to confidently explore, hypothesise, take risks and solve problems.

🏘️

A Community Raising Children

Our belief is that as a community, we raise a child. Through partnerships with families and communities, we support and share responsibilities for children's learning, development and wellbeing.
