Our Philosophy
We recognise the value of play-based learning and how this shapes young minds and provide individual and group learning experiences in an exploratory and stimulating environment. We believe that children are successful, competent, and curious learners. At Rochie’s children are valued for their ability to do meaningful work, their wonder, curiosities, and their need to discover and play.
Our purpose is to learn from our children, to support the navigation of their learning journey and foster a love of learning that will guide them through life. We aim to understand each child for the individual they are, the path they choose and the life they lead by being active listeners, learning from them and through them.
At Rochie’s we value all families’ heritage, culture, and opinions. We view our centre and its educators as part of the diverse community in which families raise their children. We aim to create a respectful partnership with our families and endeavour to be a positive influence on their family life. We believe in a collaborative approach to achieve the best possible outcomes for young children.
We are ever-changing, ever evolving, who see ourselves as an extension of all our families and our communities.
Our unique centre has a joyous atmosphere filled with laughter, happiness, excitement, and individuality.
