Educators
Terrey Hills Community Kindergarten has a number of long-serving staff members. This provides the children with an environment that is stable, allowing them to feel a sense of security through strong ongoing relationships between Educators, staff, children and families.
We believe Educators are facilitators of learning and exploration, who must work collaboratively with children, families, the community and other team members. Our Educators support children to develop positive attitudes towards learning and facilitate the development of each child toward enhanced self-esteem. The highest level of care and quality education for every single child is vital.
As well as dedication and experience, maintaining current knowledge and practice in early education is important, and achieved through a collaborative, positive work environment and by participating in professional development. Each staff member is respected and treated with equal importance, which is in turn reflected into the respectful and happy environment of the Kindy.
We are a small team and this allows us to work well towards the same goals. We participate in regular staff meetings throughout each term where we discuss individual children, our program, reflect and plan accordingly.
