Our Philosophy
Our children's welfare, development and happiness are at the heart of the LCCC program.
We provide our children with a warm, supportive, and safe environment, facilitated through caring, passionate, and professional educators.
We strive to offer our educators a stable, nurturing and professional environment by fostering strong relationships with parents, families, and the broader community.

We believe:
-
In honouring the diversity of culture, values and beliefs of other people.
-
In valuing each child as a unique person and encouraging them to develop positive self-esteem in a supportive, secure and healthy environment.
-
In the importance of committed and caring staff and encourage a stable, lasting relationship between them and the centre.
-
In parents and educators building positive, long-term relationships and that families are given opportunities to participate in the program according to their needs and interests.
-
In playing an important part in the local community through the provision of flexible care services.
-
In a sustainable environment that will seek to stimulate each child to appreciate their natural surroundings and its resources.
-
In an environment that is open ended, stimulating, nurturing and adaptable to the individual needs of each child.
-
In nurturing creativity and spontaneity and developing a sense of belonging and community within the learning environment.
Our children:
Are provided with an educational play-based program to assist each child's growth and development at their own pace, with the guidance and support by all educators.
They are;
-
Free to express their feelings and interests.
-
Show confidence, curiosity, and imagination.
-
Are independent and have good self-esteem.
-
respect for themselves and others.
-
are friendly and show caring behaviour.
-
show their full potential both emotionally and physically,
-
foster and reinforce self-control.
-
have an understanding and appreciation of the rights and feelings of other people.
We support our beliefs through:
-
Implementation of a child-centric program curriculum in line with the Early Years Learning Framework - where programs reflect children’s needs, interests and strengths so that they are actively involved in their learning.
-
A strong emphasis on the concepts of Belonging, Being and Becoming.
