BlueBerries Philosophy

“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul” – Fredrich Froebel

We believe that the future and happiness of the children, reflects ourselves and the learning environment they are in. As educators, we understand the significance of reflection and create a space in our curriculum so that children can explore their play – at their own pace.
Our HEART believes that appreciation, compassion, and understanding are integral to learning about ourselves. Our MIND is courageous, focused and is humbled to support growing minds. We believe that being physically healthy, and learning together supports our BODY to grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We will always provide stimulation and education through a variety of experiences that promote the importance of play.
Within our care environment we will promote the development of fine and gross motor skills, exercise, good nutritional means, with opportunities for sleep and rest periods.
We provide opportunities for all children to create a positive approach to themselves, each other, and the world around them.
We create learning environments where all children have freedom to choose and explore their area of interest and are encouraged to excel in this area. We encourage children to show creativity and individuality in all areas of learning.
We create a stimulating environment for all children that enables them to feel safe, secure, and supported in order for children to develop confidence and positive self-esteem.
We develop children’s understandings of themselves and their world through active, hands-on investigation. We foster a supportive active learning environment that encourages children’s engagement in learning, which can be recognised as deep concentration and complete focus on what captures their interests.
We endeavour to create value through a holistic approach to educational programs from birth to 5 years of age, stimulating environments, home cooked meals and a natural atmosphere. With the Early Years Learning Framework, 2023 (EYLF) and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines, 2019 (QKLG) supporting to provide a balanced approach to our educational programs, which pushes the focus onto thoughtful connection and communication.
We value and acknowledge the past, present and emerging traditional owners of the Yugambeh people of this land, on which we learn and play. We acknowledge all the different cultures of which we celebrate equitable learning opportunities, together. We acknowledge the importance of building relationships within our local community to ensure that our children have a greater understanding of the world in which they live.
