Led by the warm and dedicated Director, Cathy, the centre believes in the uniqueness and preciousness of each child. They offer play-based educational experiences that are stimulating, engaging, and tailored to allow children to explore and interact with their environments at their own pace. Children and families are encouraged to actively participate in shaping the daily educational programs, fostering a sense of ownership and involvement in their learning journey.
At Archer Street, play-based education is at the core of their philosophy, aligning with the Early Years Learning Framework to provide children with opportunities to maximize their potential and develop a strong foundation for future success. The centre’s programs focus on nurturing children’s sense of identity, connections with the world, wellbeing, confidence, and communication skills. Through play, children are able to explore, learn, and understand the world around them, while also developing social skills, testing ideas, and building new understandings in a supportive environment.
The Kindergarten Program at Archer Street prepares children for primary school by offering experiences that enhance their learning and development. With a focus on routines, transitions, and parent input, the program is designed to respond to the evolving needs and interests of each child. Educators create individual learning portfolios for children, documenting their experiences, observations, and achievements to serve as a valuable tool for reflection and growth. Archer Street Child Care Centre is committed to providing exceptional quality education and care, ensuring that each child’s unique abilities and potential are nurtured and celebrated.
