At Rosemeadow ELC we believe in providing children with the highest quality of care allowing each and every child to reach their fullest potential by enhancing all areas of growth and development. We have created a warm, caring and home like environment that is a reflection of our children, families and our community. We value children growing up with the understanding, skills and dispositions to be caring people and effective learners. This will enable them to contribute to their world and to enjoy rich and successful relationships with others.
We believe play is an important part of the early years learning framework which is connected with our philosophy. It is through play that children feel a sense of belonging, being and becoming. It is through a quality educator and child interactions that allow for quality programs to be established that reflect children’s interest as well as further learning.
