Our Philosophy
Our Values
We aim to provide an environment that:
Nature Education
We provide a nature rich environment; giving every opportunity for our kids to develop life skills through their interactions with nature.
Children are encouraged to be motivated by their curiosity, with teachers facilitating their learning through “wonder” conversations and skill demonstrations.
Allowing children the opportunity to build great memories through using a secure, challenging, nature rich environment supports them in becoming capable and competent learners.
They develop a range of skills including spatial awareness, understanding cause and effect, risk management, resilience, self-awareness and problem solving as an individual as well as within a group.
Our staff are inspired by the philosophies of Reggio Emilia, RIE, Pikler and Magda Gerber.
FAQs
Do you provide lunch for the children?
Parents are asked to provide their children with morning tea, afternoon tea, or lunch as appropriate for their booking. We have a Healthy Heart Award from the Heart Foundation so we would ask that food provided is consistent with our practice.
How many teachers do you have?
We have a ratio of 1 qualified teacher to 8 children.
What are your fees?
Children three to five years qualify for thirty free ECE hours.
There is an administration fee of $30 for a new enrolment.
How do you support transition to school?
At least ten weeks before a child is due to start school they join the Transition to School group.
This group follows the ten-week Transition to School plan.
During this time the child will be taken to May Road Primary school for a school visit twice a term as a part of school transition program.
We are excited at the prospect of your child joining us at Mt Roskill Baptist Kindergarten!
