~Team Meetings~

Recently we took the time to review our centre philosophy.
A statement of philosophy guides all aspects of our service operations and our approach to achieving quality outcomes for children and families. The children at our service were also involved in this process, showing us in different ways what they loved about coming to Paradise Kids
Some of the ideas that we heard about were children appreciating friends and educators, the types of experiences they enjoyed and the amount of room they have. This speaks volumes about the how important relationships are to them in order for them to feel a sense of belonging and that freedom to explore was high on the list!
Lastly families have been asked for their thoughts through a survey available at the front desk.
Feedback is a gift and with all of this information we will be able to incorporate everyone's thoughts and beliefs into our philosophy in some way ... See MoreSee Less

Our little artists 🎨

The kinder children engaged in a visual art activity where they had to express their individual perceptions of an object they have observed.

Research has shown the visual arts to be a rich domain through which young children can explore and represent their experiences, think through and deepen their working theories, and develop their creative thinking
The visual arts support children’s learning by allowing them to explore and share their perceptions of their world. The visual arts can help children to communicate ideas that cannot be expressed verbally
Another wonderful aspect of the visual arts is that there is never one right answer. The visual arts offer multiple ways that an idea can be expressed. When children have opportunities to view each other creating visual arts, and to talk about the ideas they are exploring through their art, they can develop an appreciation for different perspectives and an understanding that knowledge is subjective, that there is no one ‘truth’ or correct answer. ...
