Your Child Is in Great Hands
Philosophy
At Milieu Early Education & Care, we believe that early childhood is a critical stage in children’s lives and all children deserve a high-quality early childhood program. We are guided by the principles of the Early years Learning Framework (secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships, partnerships, high expectations and equity, respect for diversity and ongoing learning and reflective practice) which underpins our practice to ensure all children make progress in relation to the learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework.
We believe that children learn best through play. Children learn to explore, experiment, investigate, solve problems, communicate, form attachments, trust, imagine, create and discover. Furthermore, we believe “play” emphasises the ideal approach to early childhood learning as the most important time in life and that children should be allowed to “just be”.
Health & Safety
The health, safety and wellbeing of our children, families, educators and community is always our biggest priority.
​
It is important we are all safe and practical when it comes to our policies around health, safety and wellbeing. We know parents are busy, so our policies – whilst grounded in safety – also consider life’s practicalities.
​
Educating children about the importance of healthy eating and good nutrition is an important part of early childhood development. We believe in providing a positive eating environment that reflects dietary requirements, cultural and family values, and promotes lifelong learning for children.
​
Milieu is an environment that inspires confidence, friendship, security, and happiness. Our Child Protection policy and practices encourage a culture of openness, inclusiveness, and awareness. Children need safe and secure environments to thrive in life and in learning.
