Camelot Early Learning Centre Richmond

The Camelot Early Learning Centre Philosophy

We believe that the role of Camelot Early Learning Centre is to meet the needs of the children and families while they are in our care.

At Camelot we believe that an environment, which is safe, secure and encouraging, is adopted throughout the centre. By providing an environment where by safety and security is promoted children are able to feel a sense of trust, warmth and comfort.

We believe children should be cared for by educators, who present themselves in a professional manner, who are dedicated to the early childhood profession and who are flexible to the individual needs and wants of the children and their families..

We value the importance of professional development and actively encourage our staff to participate in these opportunities.

We believe children learn through different types of play, modelling/imitating, observing, experiencing, discovering/exploring and contemplating. These forms of play as well as the children’s developmental stages and current interests are taken into consideration when planning.

We believe that by incorporating natural and recycle materials into the program imagination and creativity is encouraged, this stimulates children’s sensors, creates a calm and inviting atmosphere, encourages an awareness of the environment and a love and respect of nature. Incorporation of natural materials to the program enhances opportunities for open-minded experiences ensuring there is no outcome or product thus enhancing child’s self esteem and confidence.

We believe that the children’s program of learning experiences should reflect the developing interests, developmental needs and family’s goals of their child’s development. We believe that these learning experiences should be offered to enhance children’s developmental areas and to prepare them for their individual futures.
