Integrating contemporary educational techniques to promote traditional
family values. Each child has opportunities to participate in child-led, play based
learning and is challenged and supported to investigate, explore, wonder and delight.
We wholeheartedly encourage children to navigate risks, to try, fail, reflect upon and
learn from new experiences for themselves. To engage in messy, creative and physical
play and to have their thoughts, ideas and voices heard and respected.
Relationship focused service providing family style management
which builds lasting impressions and solid foundations for all children. We value
collaborating with families and children regarding their needs and interests through
conversations that are truthful, gentle and helpful. Educators work with integrity and
trust with Children, Families and each other.
Creative Minds embraces all cultures which enriches children’s knowledge
of the world. We represent the world through our studios. We celebrate, engage and
promote our local and wider community. We embrace our differences, lead with
optimism, respect people, value diversity, show compassion, courage and authenticity.
Staff are encouraged to be autonomous. Their voice is heard and
respected which in turn promotes equality, inclusion and a committed team. We strive to
provide equal access to our service for all children and their parents showing fairness
and valuing each other’s uniqueness.
Management promote opportunities for staff to develop further their
skill set through the provision of professional development. Creative Minds endeavours
to inspire and nurture the professionalisation of all educators. We are committed to
developing and empowering our staff to become leaders in the profession of early
childhood education.
Creative Minds exudes a culture of positive energy. Within there is a
colourful vibrant atmosphere, a committed, welcoming, respectful team working together
to make an impact on the families and children who attend our service.
Safety of all who attend Creative Minds is paramount. Our interpretation of
safety encompasses the following: emotional security, child protection, risk
management, regulatory responsibility and workplace health and safety.
We value speaking with families regarding their needs and interests through
conversations that are truthful, gentle, and helpful.
