Our Philosophy

At Dolphin Ave Early Learning Centre, we believe every child is unique and deserves an environment where they feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore. Our philosophy centres on creating a nurturing space where children can grow and develop to their full potential through dynamic, inclusive programs. 

We embrace the Reggio Emilia Approach and Constructivist Theory, valuing children as active learners who build knowledge through experiences and interactions. Our educators support each child’s physical, emotional, and educational needs, fostering growth with age-appropriate resources and engaging learning experiences. Language development is crucial in early years, and our Abecedarian Approach integrates conversation, storytelling, music, and drama to nurture this growth. We work in partnership with families, honouring their role as primary educators and providing a caring community where children can thrive. 

Our programs align with the National Quality Standards and Early Years Learning Framework, celebrating Australia’s multicultural society and acknowledging the cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. At Dolphin Ave Early Learning Centre, our vision is to offer a place where children’s learning and development are our top priorities, supported by a community-focused and inclusive approach.

“It is through our connections to others; we develop into ourselves.” – Vygotsky
