Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
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.
We aim to build collaborative partnerships with families and community to enhance their feeling of belonging.
We recognise and value the experiences, knowledge, ideas and culture each family brings to the programme.
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 the provision of intentional teaching strategies, staff will build on and extend children’s knowledge.
Each child is supported to develop confidence and resilience in relationships with their peers.
We will provide an engaging and stimulating physical environment.
Effective safety, health and hygiene practices are promoted and modelled at all times.
Staff and committees work closely together to ensure a professional learning community is maintained.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Learning through Play.
Through play children are developing the attributes of a learner – they apply curiosity, problem-solve, consider alternatives, listen to the ideas of others, investigate and demonstrate interest and involvement in learning.
Your child will make friends and interact with others, explore and express their creativity, build a confident self identity, take increasing responsibility for their health and physical wellbeing and learn what it is to be a part of a community. They will engage with science, the arts, technology and the natural world with increasing complexity as they grow in confidence, independence and resilience.
We will immerse your child in opportunities for literacy and numeracy learning, purposefully pointing out letters, numbers and symbols in the environment, playing with sounds, introducing new words, counting, singing and playing games at every opportunity. There will be many opportunities to construct, manipulate and build as children learn about space, height, weight, number and patterns. The environment will be rich with opportunities to explore and enjoy a range of written, spoken and digital texts and the visual arts. Children will be sharing books and telling and listening to stories.
In this way children and educators together create learning in ways that are meaningful to them, and the community to live in.
