We are a family run business, first established in 1974 by our
mother Bernadette Giambazi who received an AM in 2000 for her services to the Australian Early Childhood sector.We pride ourselves on understanding the needs of our community and providing high
quality care to all children and their families.

An integral part of our philosophy and practice is the process
of assessing and revisiting all our processes and practice. We gain perspective and insight by drawing from many different disciplines, philosophers and pedagogy from Australia and overseas. Since 1996, we have recognised the positive impact that the integration of the philosophy and practice of many different pedagogies such as that
of Municipal Schools of Reggio Emilia, Rudolf Steiner and Maria Montessori, has had on our environment, and the children who
work within it.

• Children need parents, teachers and the community
to be constantly researching and looking at practice.

• Children need a safe secure environment that challenges
and stimulates. This environment allows time for discovery,
reflection, experimentation and for revisitation.

• Children need a space to discover, to learn and to fail.
This space needs to be theirs, it’s a place for Mum and Dad
to visit, to learn about, to be interested in but not to control.

• Children need to learn how to form peer relationships,
resolve conflicts, to make mistakes, to forgive and be forgiven.
Children need to learn about feelings and about right and
wrong. (This needs to be lived not told.)

• Children need to understand the concept of mutual respect.
Respect for others and respect for the environment.
