At Moorefield Park Childcare Centre, the Educators believe that play is the highest form of discovery and learning. Through play, children learn to make sense of and construct ideas about their world – the people, places, objects and experiences they encounter every day. 

Valuing the capabilities, imaginations, and curiosities of children is paramount to the centre’s play-based program. The centre emphasises children’s voices through their supportive, responsive Educators who provide opportunities for children to fulfil their capabilities and explore their world. 

The centre’s goal is to ensure that children are cared for and educated in a way that inspires a love of learning that continues throughout their entire educational journey. 

Children of all abilities have the right to an education that is meaningful, appropriate and equivalent to that of their peers. At Moorefield Park inclusion is viewed as the opportunity to learn together and from one another. 

Educators view childhood as a time to develop skills and knowledge at the pace which is right for each individual child. They place significant emphasis on ensuring that all children are supported to participate in learning and celebrate the uniqueness that each child contributes. 

Educators acknowledge that everyone views the world from a different perspective; therefore, everyone must open their minds to the new possibilities and make room for different perspectives while enriching the experience for everyone along the way.

The children are cared for in the following groups:

• Nursery
• Tiny Tots
• Toddlers
• Junior Kindy 
• Kindergarten

At Moorefield Park Childcare Centre, the children enjoy a wide variety of seasonal and local produce, with a menu that provides more than half of their daily nutrition requirements. The chef-designed meals also include many vegetables and herbs from the centre’s own vegetable gardens. The centre works in consultation with families to accommodate any child’s allergies, intolerances, their cultural background or other family preferences. 

Mealtimes provide an important opportunity for children to develop good eating habits and learn about nutrition and food variety. They are also an important time for social interaction with other children and adults. 

The Educators adopt meal time strategies to teach children about good nutrition. These include things like involving children in creating the menu, encouraging younger children and toddlers to talk about healthy food choices, providing children with opportunities to eat food and engage in the mealtime routines of different cultures, talking with children about nutritious food during mealtimes.
