About enterprise
Little Possums on Wattletree, Company
We are a Children’s Centre with qualified and experienced staff committed to providing families with high quality childcare in a caring and stimulating environment since March 1995. We operate from two adjoining properties. Baby Possums caters for children from 6 months to two years old. Our Blue Room caters for our 2 year olds. Our Green Room caters for our 3 year olds and our Kinder Room caters for our 4 year olds (funded pre-school program).
ACCREDITATION
Our centre participates in the Quality Improvement and Accreditation System. Regularly we have achieved the HIGHEST rating possible and want to keep trying our best to keep this high standard. We work very hard to ensure that our practices are the best we can provide.
We believe in partnerships with families, respecting that parents are the primary carers, educators and role models for their children. We encourage parent involvement and collaborative decision making with parents and children.
We believe that orientation sessions are crucial to help prepare children and families gradually and sensitively. We understand that a partnership between parents and caregivers is the best possible way to care for your child and orientation sessions commence this partnership.
We are committed to the well-being of the individual child and advocate the importance of being nurturing and sensitive caregivers. We understand that a child whose emotional and physical needs are met in a caring way has the ability to form trusting relationships and secure attachments with parents and caregivers.
We believe that play is a child’s way of learning and understanding the world around them. We are influenced by the work of Vygotsky, Bruner, Piaget, Erikson, Freud and Bateson whose modern day theories discuss the value and importance of play for all areas of growth and development.
Baby Possums caters for children from 6 months to two years old. Our Blue Room caters for our 2 year olds. Our Green Room caters for our 3 year olds and our Kinder Room caters for our 4 year olds (funded pre-school program).
