Welcome to Child’s Play Before and After School Care. We are a privately owned family business operating at the Australian International Academy.
Our Aims and Philosophy
Our aim is to provide a safe, secure, nurturing environment for your children which incorporates an Islamic philosophy and ethos into the program. We align our mission and vision with that of AIA and endeavour to support and complement AIA’s mission of developing students who are well prepared and self-motivated to advance Australia and to participate effectively as world citizens with Muslim values.
We:
- believe play is a powerful medium for children’s learning and should be supported and encouraged.
- believe that the most effective learning for children takes place through meaningful interactions with adults and other children.
- believe that learning and development are nurtured by exposure to a variety of experiences and interactions.
- will support parents by providing a homework program.
- will aim for continuous improvement by constantly reflecting on how things are going and evaluating what can we do to improve the program.
- seek to develop and maintain an environment which offers routines flexible enough to support children to develop as confident and involved learners.
- value and promote the inclusion of our families’ voices in all aspects of planning and service delivery.
- believe that respect underpins relationships and practices for all children and adults. We respect the role that families play and seek to build meaningful relationships with each family.
- value and respect the diversity of families in our community and believe that each family has the right to a service responsive to their individual needs.
- plan, implement and review our curriculum using the My Time, Our Place – Framework for School Age Care.
