About Us
Little Heroes Child Care Centre is privately owned and managed. We provide high quality education and care from children aged 6 weeks in Nursery through to our government approved Kindergarten program catering for children aged up to 5 years.
Little Heroes works cohesively with families by providing three nutritional meals throughout the children’s flexible routine. Little Heroes provides all nappies, wipes and toileting needs for families convenience.
Little Heroes provides the opportunity for children to learn and grow with the use of their expansive environment. Little Heroes is fortunate to have five spacious, stimulating rooms and an open outdoor setting where both younger and older children can be seen and socially engage with one another. This is a great advantage for children to socialise with siblings and all educators in the service. Little Heroes provides incursions and excursions, and provides a weekly cooking program.
Little Heroes Child Care Centre is open 6:15am-6:15pm Monday to Friday.
Centre Philosophy
“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress and working together is success” – Henry Ford
At Little Heroes Child Care Centre, we define our philosophy as a set of values and beliefs that underpin our program and practice. We believe that it is essential for educators and other staff to not only teach our children the following elements but also put implement them into our own daily lives.
At Little Heroes we draw on the Early Years Learning Framework of Belonging, Being and Becoming through the emergent curriculum in order to scaffold the development of all children in our care. In our centre children feel safe and secure and part of an extended family where the development of a ‘whole’ child is paramount, and they are encouraged to achieve their highest potential.
The Centre cares for the environment and supports children to be environmentally responsible. This is embedded in our practices, routines and rituals. We believe by modelling respect and educating children about the environment they will become environmentally aware and care for our world.
We acknowledge the children’s rights to be active in deciding how to ‘be’ in their present lives and that children are capable learners from birth. We allow children unhurried time to ‘be’ and to enjoy being in their world. We strive to acknowledge differences and diversity; we plan with children and respond to each child’s competencies and uniqueness.
The families in our community comprise of different cultures and structures which are important to our centre and program. Staff members endeavor to provide supportive networks where we can learn from and support each other. Each families customs and beliefs are respected and help to enrich our ‘centre family.’ It is our belief that we are one of the many important stakeholders in the lives of the children in our care and that our role in their development is significant and profound. Because of this our door is always open and we value and foster open lines of communication.
The centre is calming, inviting and hygienic where each individual contributes to the harmonious atmosphere, a place where children have the opportunity to learn in familiar surroundings. As compassionate and caring childcare professionals the team at Little Heroes are committed to providing a safe and secure setting that has the feel and warmth of a ‘home away from home.’
