Connection to Country
At Little Jarjums, we come together on Bundjalung Land, a special place we share with deep respect. We honour the Aboriginal people as the First Peoples of this land and pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging. We aim to guide and nurture our Jarjums to grow with a strong connection to Country, culture, family, and community.
Reflective and Collaborative Educators
Our educators work closely together to keep learning and growing in their teaching. We regularly reflect on our work and share ideas with each other and with the wider early childhood team, so we can offer the best possible learning experiences for our children.
Strong Partnerships
We believe that strong, respectful relationships with children, families, and the community are at the heart of everything we do. By working together, we can build on each child’s strengths and interests and support their learning and development in meaningful ways.
Learning Through Play and Purposeful Teaching
We take the time to observe and listen to children’s ideas and interests. These observations, along with family input and children’s own voices, help us plan fun, engaging, and purposeful play experiences that support learning and thinking.
Child Safety First
Keeping children safe is our top priority. We are committed to creating a preschool environment where every child feels safe, supported, and respected. All of our practices are designed with children's safety and wellbeing in mind.
Growing Responsible Citizens
At Little Jarjums, we help children learn how to care for the world around them in ways that support a sustainable future. This includes environmental sustainability, such as recycling, saving water, and caring for plants and animals; social sustainability, by building respectful relationships, working together, and being part of a kind and inclusive community; and economic sustainability, through play-based experiences where children learn about money, sharing resources, and making thoughtful choices. We support children to have a voice, make decisions, and understand how their actions can make a positive difference both now and in the future.
