About
Vision
Building a foundation for life and nurturing your child's potential

Mission
The Robyn Jane Children's Centre is a not-for-profit parent-controlled incorporated body, providing high quality flexible long day care and kindergarten to families within the Healesville community. The Centre seeks to provide stimulating, positive experiences and interactions for all children in care, fostering all aspects of their development. The Centre will encourage the children's independence and autonomy.

We affirm that the children, parents and staff of the Centre have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. Families of children enrolled at the Centre are recognised as the primary caregiver, with the Centre co-operating in providing care. Staff, parents and children are committed to nurturing a supportive community environment that is sensitive, inclusive and responsible to our community's environmental, cultural and social diversity.

The Centre gives priority to the needs of the people who live or work in the Shire of
Yarra Ranges community.

Philosophy
Our purpose is to provide a community based, not-for-profit, parent managed service offering early childhood education, care and support to children and their families.  Our team of educators, together with Centre management aim to implement best practice, focused on providing children with opportunities to maximise their potential and support children developing positive life-long dispositions towards learning.  Best practice will reflect the principles of the National Quality Framework (2012), the National Early Years Learning Framework (2009), the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (2009), the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

We understand the needs of children, families, educators and community are constantly changing, therefore we are committed to being responsive to those needs through active engagement and communication with children, families and educators. We also undertake ongoing evaluation of the Centre, its programs and all aspects of its operation.

Our philosophy encompasses a wide range of values, with our main aim to provide a safe, healthy and happy learning environment, where all children feel valued and secure.

Children are encouraged to explore and learn from their own surroundings, and as a pre-school, we are lucky to be situated in an area that flourishes with wildlife and biodiversity. We foster a love for the outdoors and the surrounding environment, with a strong awareness and connection to sustainability that we hope will empower each child as they make their journey into adulthood.

We believe that all children and families are equal and we value each child as unique individuals, regardless of developmental needs, gender, race, ability, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, culture and beliefs.

As educators, we listen to, engage with and support children's efforts. We observe and identify their interests and abilities and plan learning experiences which are a balance of child initiated and adult facilitated learning experiences.

We work in collaboration with families and welcome parent involvement as it is important to nurture and maintain a strong interconnection and build on the blocks already developed in the home environment.
