Centre Philosophy:
We pay or respects to the Elders past, present & emerging, for they hold the memories, cultures, traditions and hopes of all Indigenous and Torres Islander people in this state. we acknowledge the Wangal, Bedigal & Kameygal people of the Eora nation on who's land we provide school age care today.
At Earlwood caring for Kids (ECFKI) children feel a sense of belonging to explore and develop personal skills & interests while interacting with others. We empower children to connect with and build relationships though cooperative play, opportunities for lifelong learning and having their voice heard & valued. Programs, environments, routines & child safe standards are child-directed with a key focus around resilience, teamwork & independence.
ECFKI recognises its a service vital to the local community and believes a strong relationship with our greater community builds a strong foundation for growth, managing change and longevity. Open & respectful communication with all stakeholders is key to this belief and feedback is encouraged and valued.
ECFKI management and educators are key to providing quality care for school aged children. Our educators are selected & valued for their individual skills, knowledge & person qualities that directly contributes to a work culture of warmth, professionalism and inclusion. Professional development is high priority and educators are encouraged to both grow within their role & are supported to go above & beyond.
Our ECFKI values are recognised as being the core of daily practice with our commitment to the UN rights of the child at the forefront of best practice. Our intentional learning opportunities around sustainability, diversity, inclusion and cultural awareness are paramount to a program that is both varied & enriching to a child's learning experience during their time outside school hours.
Our mission, values and philosophy are undertaken with pride and are demonstrated on a daily basis.
