SANDGATE CENTRE DIRECTOR
Director’s Philosophy
I believe that in my role as an early childhood educator, I am responsible for meeting the needs of all the children in my care, as well as providing positive learning experiences where children can be motivated and feel actively involved in their own learning. I seek to form relationships with each child and their families. I see each child as a unique individual and aim to provide an enriching environment where children feel safe to explore, secure and supported. I believe learning through play, being creative and using imagination is fundamental to a child’s development.
Our Learning Space
Our outdoor space encourages children to be active and to support their learning in a variety of environments. We foster creative play by including loose parts and open ended play materials in our outdoor learning environment.
