Learning Through Play, Shaping the Future
At Archer Street Child Care Centre, we believe that every child is unique and precious, and deserves to learn and grow in a nurturing and engaging environment. Our family-owned and operated center has been dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education and care for over 20 years. Our experienced team, led by our wonderful Director Cathy, is committed to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every child feel loved and valued.
Our Philosophy
At Archer Street, we believe that play is the best way for children to learn and develop. Our play-based educational programs are designed to stimulate the mind, body, and spirit of every child. We recognize that children learn at their own pace and in their own way, and our educators are trained to support and guide them as they explore and discover their world.
Early Years Learning Framework
Our programs are based on the Early Years Learning Framework, which is a national framework that provides a framework for early childhood education and care in Australia. The framework is designed to support children's learning and development, and our educators are trained to implement the framework in a way that is tailored to the unique needs and interests of every child.
Kindergarten Program
Our Kindergarten Program is designed to prepare children for future learning by providing them with experiences that are engaging, challenging, and fun. Our Kindergarten Program is designed to foster independence, self-confidence, and social skills, and our educators work closely with parents to ensure that every child's learning needs are met.
Portfolios
We believe that documentation of children's learning is an essential part of our curriculum. Each child's portfolio is a special collection of photos, artwork, and observations that capture their learning journey and progress. Our portfolios are used as a learning tool for the children, to assist them to reflect on their thinking, discoveries, and learning journey.
Governance
Archer Street Child Care Centre is owned and operated by a family of dedicated operators who have more than 20 years of experience in the child care industry. We are committed to providing high-quality early childhood education and care, and we are dedicated to ensuring that every child who attends our center feels loved, valued, and supported.
Government Sites
We recognize the importance of government support for early childhood education and care, and we are committed to working closely with government agencies to ensure that our programs and services are aligned with national standards and guidelines. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for all children.
