We know that children's experiences in their early years have a
major impact on the rest of their lives.
We believe that parents/carers are a child's first teacher and we
will support all parents and their families in any way we can as
they strive to give the best possible start to their children's
learning
We are committed to providing quality services and day-care that
'honour the needs of young children and celebrate their existence'
(Pengreen 1983)
We believe in developing aspirational children, parents and staff
by creating a rich curriculum, feisty children and empowered
parents.
We want everyone to feel they have the power to change things and
really make a difference.
We actively encourage constructive discontent: - i.e. not having to
put up with things the way they are.
As the Head of the Centre I will
ensure
-
That all staff, children and families share the same vision, values
and principles that are committed to collaboration, co-operation
and engagement. Creating a learning community for everyone.
-
That all agencies come together as a team and make connections to
find solutions.
-
That we foster shared leadership and management and consistent ways
of working. Which is clear, open, honest, and trustworthy.
-
That all services learn to co-exist together so that families can
get help, advice, support and information from one place.
-
That we treat each other with respect and accept other peoples'
differences.
-
That we are all willing to make things better for everyone.
