Clubhouse Philosophy

Our Service’s philosophy

At Coomera Clubhouse we aim to ensure that there is always respect for the children, families and early childhood Educators of our service. We value the importance of effective communication and consultation between our team, our families and our children giving a sense of “Belonging”.

We aim to form reciprocal relationships that will encourage families, children and the community to participate in the service and share in decision making. We aim to ensure that open, respectful communication will be conveyed in every action and decision made in regards to the running of the service. 

We strive to provide an Education and Care service that is driven by the needs of our children, families and community in a relaxed and homely environment.

We value the diverse range of cultures and abilities in our community and will ensure that all children, families, Educators and visitors are treated with high quality of service and access to care.

It is our expectation that our service will be a place where children are seen as capable and competent, shaping who they are and who they can “Become”.

Each child will be seen as unique and their individual needs and cultural backgrounds are not only respected but embraced and woven through our curriculum.

We will provide a play based curriculum incorporating the principles and learning outcomes of the “Early Years Learning Framework”, which will guide our team of Early Childhood Educators teaching decisions.  We will encourage children to just “Be” and explore their interests and the world around them in a safe, challenging, stimulating and engaging environment.

We will support our team of Early Childhood Educators’ professional pedagogy in their efforts to provide a nurturing child orientated curriculum that satisfies a child’s growing curiosity.

Our team will form partnerships with our families to encourage children to grow with self-esteem, confidence and knowledge of their unique talents and abilities. We aim to provide an environment where interactions with each child are warm, responsive and build trusting relationships.

Coomera Clubhouse will always be undergoing continual quality improvements through team self reflections and with the help of the families and community.

We strive to provide a supportive team environment to assist our service in their delivery of quality care and education. We do this by listening to and being responsive to our team’s requirements and balancing these against the needs of our children, families and community.
