Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
Mikarie Child Care Centre acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People of the Dharawal nation on which we are situated. We pay respect to the rich culture and heritage of the Dharawal people and land by embedding Aboriginal
perspectives within the everyday learning environment and encouraging.
Mastering new concepts through play, children thrive as confident and capable learners when supported by educators who provide a meaningful, safe, and engaging environment.
Integrating diverse cultural and language perspectives, Mikarie fosters respect, acceptance, and cultural awareness by embedding stories, traditions, and practices into the learning environment.
Keeping strong, meaningful relationships at the heart of our approach, we collaborate with families to support each child’s
wellbeing by recognising their unique needs, interests, and strengths through regular communication.
As educators, we are dedicated to professional growth, we at Mikarie engage in continuous learning, critical reflection, and
teamwork to maintain consistency, fairness, and adaptability in our early childhood practices.
Recognising the importance of community, we focus on building meaningful relationships with local organizations and families, believing these connections will enhance our curriculum and help children develop a sense of belonging in the world around them.
Inclusion is central to everything we do at Mikarie, where we ensure everyone feels safe, respected, and valued, embracing the unique contributions of all staff, families, and children.
Emphasising sustainability, we teach children environmental responsibility through hands-on experiences, inspiring respect for the land and a commitment to a sustainable future.
