Point Cook Early Learning Centre - Giant Leaps Philosophy Giant Leaps recognises and applauds that every child has individual strengths and we should celebrate the development of these strengths as they grow. This growth requires children to gain the knowledge and understanding of the world we live in. By exploring their environments in an educational framework that at the same time encourages and facilities a sense of self- achievement and belonging will enable a nurturing and trusting environment for every child.

Giant Leaps educational framework is based upon the belief that it is through play and children’s natural curiosity to explore and experiment, to which skills are achieved at individual levels. Every child at Giant Leaps is encouraged to reach their full potential. We encourage the children to explore their strengths and therefore gain confidence. The ability to construct and direct their learning with our early childhood qualified professionals provides a dynamic culture and environment that is a natural extension to their home environment every member of the Giant Leaps team respects that every child needs a nurturing relationships with their parents.

 

Respecting that parents are the primary caregiver and first educator, our role is to work in partnership to complement an environment which is positive and caring and where children can learn and feel reassurance.

Giant Leaps Early Learning intends to provide a home- away from home environment which stimulates and inspires children’s natural curiosity and delight.

We also recognise the value the diversity of culture within the Australian society. Parents, friends and the wider community are an integral part of a child’s environment. Providing children with exposure to different cultures, music or arts; facilitates the progression of a child’s perception of an integrated society of multiculturalism and equality. The network of parents and families provides children with learning opportunities of knowledge and understanding of the world we live in.
