Centre Philosophy for 2016.

Each child brings to Hughenden kindergarten and early childhood centre a uniqueness, individuality and cultural heritage. Partnerships between families and the Centre are essential to the growth and development of the individual child.

We strive to create and promote these strong partnerships with families and create a sense of community.

Hughenden kindergarten and early childhood centre recognizes the importance of play in the learning process for young children.

Play is the basis for learning in our programs. We aim to provide a full, stimulating, developmentally appropriate environment which encompasses the many learning styles and needs of young children, and also supports them having fun and enjoying their childhood as they learn.

The environment allows for children to develop and master skills at their own pace.

Hughenden kindergarten and early childhood centre believes  in empowering children, promote individuality as well as community, and develop strong partnerships with families while creating an environment that helps young children attain physical, cognitive, social, and emotional achievements, supports their wellbeing while also preparing them for the next step in life.

The spirit of the Hughenden kindergarten and early childhood centre is thoughtful, warm and compassionate.

To support it the Centre will strive to be consistent with these values.
