Killeen Street Child Care Centre believes that there are fundamental elements in providing opportunities for children to realise their potential. We aim to provide high quality Child Care through building respectful, trusting relationships with each child and families.

We provide a warm, safe, caring and stimulating environment that meets the holistic needs of every child. We are committed to providing an environment for children that encourages a sense of identity, independence, wellbeing, confidence, connection and opportunities to contribute to the world around them. We will provide an environment that maintains high standards of health, safety and nutrition.

We will endeavour to meet the needs of children's natural curiosity through play by providing opportunities for children to experiment, discover and solve problems. Activities will be flexible in order for all children to gain knowledge and be adaptable for all learners whether a child is a visual, auditory, linguistic or kinaesthetic learner. Through observation, family input and interactions we provide experiences that support every child’s development, unique interests and create opportunities to be confident and involved learners.  Programs promote equality, inclusion and diversity whilst fostering all aspects of every child’s development; physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally, these underpin the Framework.

We believe that children are successful, competent and capable learners who are capable of constructing their own knowledge of the world around them. We believe that the learning environment needs to be nurturing and engaging in order to build success for life. We believe children learn through play and the relationships formed with families, educators, communities, cultures and places.  Building a strong sene of self is critical to help children become independent and confident learners.

We recognize the importance of communication and collaboration between families and educators to form positive relationships and a strong partnership. Killeen Street Child Care Centre aims to be an integral part of the community.  We will respect and support families in their parenting role and share with them information of benefit to their child's development. We will encourage families to be active participants in the life of the Centre through sharing cultures, ideas, knowledge, strengths and differences.

At at all times we are aware of children showing signs of abuse and also aware of our responsibilities to report and act accordingly.

At Killeen Street Child Care Centre we acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri People, and pay respect to Elders, past, present and future. Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued.
