Waratah Cottage Early Learning Centre

Child Care lists Waratah Cottage Early Learning Centre in Claymore, who continued to provide excellent Occasional Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Claymore Australia.

We believe all children are capable, unique with individual needs, interests and strengths. All children are given equal opportunities regardless of their gender, culture, socio-economic background and supporting the inclusion of children who require additional support. 

We believe in the “circle of security” a theory based on the foundation that once children form secure attachments they will be able to thrive in all areas of development. By addressing our children’s attachment, emotional and behavioural needs we are promoting their abilities to develop and maintain positive and trusting relationships with their families, educators, peers and the wider community.

Children develop at their own pace, therefore educators will ensure their expectations for children’s development are specific to each child and their unique experiences and individual backgrounds are valued.

Children learn best through play and educators will support development by providing experiences that are meaningful. Children are given the opportunity to choose their own experiences that, most importantly, reflect their interests. For example, the child’s knowledge is valued and can be used as a tool for enhancing the knowledge of others.
