About Smithfield Child Care Centre

”Welcome to Smithfield Child Care. We are a not-for-profit community based Child Care Service. This page is a great opportunity to share news of your child's day with friends and family or to check in yourself to see your child/ren during their day. We also share other Centre news to make sure you are kept up to date with what's happening. It is our practise to provide a warm, responsive and caring environment for all children. One in which families can feel confident in the knowledge that their children are well cared for in a supportive, safe setting which stimulates their individual growth and development. Your children are encouraged to experiment, explore and ask questions about the activities and the environment that surrounds them. They are able to choose between a wide range of activities, providing them with a range of experiences, so that they can grow and develop at their own pace. Under the Early Years Learning Framework, we utilise the Emergent or Negotiated Curriculum across the centre. This supports the children and Educators to work together to determine what experiences and activities they become involved in each day. It also guides us on how these same experiences can be (and are) extended into Centre projects and other exciting ventures! The Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines supports Kindergarten teachers' professional practice in a range of contexts across Queensland. The guideline is based on the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF) and embraces the inclusive vision that "all Children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life". We utilise digital photography and slide shows to ensure you have easy access to what is happening during our day. We also invite you to share your thoughts and ideas for inclusion in our daily experiences. Support is available for any additional needs (developmental, cultural, language etc) that may present and we ensure that you are fully advised prior to any steps being taken to assist your child in these areas. As parents you are your child’s first and most important teacher and we value your input into the programming and the operation of the centre. Please feel free to spend whatever time you can with us: you are always welcome. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Director: Todd Avery. We value your feedback, input and constru Read more
