ABOUT OUR EDUCATORS

At the PeachTree Kindergarten Early Learning Centre, Long Day Care and Child Care Centre in Yagoona, we believe high quality educators are vital to providing the best education and care program for children.

Staff qualifications and levels and staff to child ratios comply with the Children’s Services Regulations 2004.

The centre’s educators are:

• Appropriately qualified, including First-aid, CPR, Working with Children Check and fire training.
• Purposefully aware of their legislative responsibilities and adhere to centre policies and procedures.
• Safety conscious, and remain within sight and/or hearing of children. They arrange play areas to ensure children can be effectively supervised and communicate effectively with each other about the supervision of children.
• Up-to-date with the knowledge of how children grow and learn.
• Skilled in fostering positive and constructive relationships with children (and between children), parents, families and the community.
• Effective team members.
• Respectful towards all children within our childcare centre.
• Advocates of social justice, access and equality for all.
• Committed to programming (planning, implementing and evaluating learning experiences and teaching strategies) for individuals and groups of children based on direct and recent observations of the children’s development.
