Our centre philosophy has been developed in conjunction with both educators and our families and reflects our beliefs about what we believe and aim for.
Smartland Boutique Early Learning strives to provide care and education of the highest standard in a secure and trusting home like environment.
We believe every child is a unique individual who brings to our school of early learning his or her own special qualities. The effective educators must provide a warm, welcoming, supportive and caring environment in which all children can grow socially, cognitively, emotionally, physically and morally.
In doing this we help the child develop a positive self-concept and attitude towards learning and play. We believe all children should be given assistance to understand, appreciate, and respect various social and cultural diversities within their community, thus ensuring all children receive equal opportunities regardless of socio-economic background, ethnicity, sex, race or physical ability.
We as caregivers and educators must be able to extend on the child’s home experiences. Therefore, a close liaison with parents is essential to ensure a high degree of parent participation and involvement and in so doing, form the essential partnership that must exist between home and child care.
Together we take the time to build the individual foundations of education and care of all children’s future.

Our family has had an incredibly positive experience since our son started his early childhood education at Smartland Port Macquarie. We were lucky enough to be one of the first families to attend the daycare centre when it opened. Our son was just 6 months old at that time. I can honestly say that every staff member and educator at Smartland Port Macquarie are amazing, genuine, kind, talented people. Everyone knows my sons name regardless of whether he has been in their class. They are far more than our daycare centre, they are family! My son has been given the most amazing start to life thanks to you all. You have been an integral part of his development and I am so grateful. Read more

We recently moved to Smartland and it has truly been the best thing we have done. Every person who works at Smartland is kind, caring, inclusive and happy. We are always met with smiles and recounts of what our child did during the day, even from staff members who have seen him in passing. His specific interests are not only met, but encouraged and built upon. Our son has a physical disability and each and every staff member has been accommodating and genuinely interested to learn about what makes him, him and how they can best support him through his time there. The difference in our son since moving to Smartland is astronomical, his confidence has sky rocketed. He adores attending, it's no longer a fight, he’s formed soild friendships and comes home with so many stories. Thank you Smartland for going above and beyond, everyday! Read more

In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
