Busy Bees at Warwick

Here at Busy Bees at Warwick, we value a rich, safe, play-based learning environment that invites hands on exploration, inspires engagement, and provides opportunities to wonder and take considered risks.

We Value:

• Opportunities for all children to develop learning dispositions such as curiosity, creativity, confidence, communication, persistence, enthusiasm, resilience and emotional intelligence
• A responsive, intentional and flexible learning environment which fosters children’s wellbeing, learning, development, independence and sense of responsibility
• Opportunities for children to understand Australia’s culture diversity and the importance of being inclusive and respectful to all.

We Recognise:

• That children are active participants in their learning, with individual strengths and abilities
• The importance of reflective practices – we are lifelong learners and engage in these provided quality-learning outcomes
• Our environments are a third teacher and the quality of interactions between educators and children have significant impact on quality learning outcomes
• Children need routine, time and space to form relationships and develop a sense of belonging
• Delivering high quality childcare and exciting learning opportunities for every child, giving them a head start as they prepare for school and to give every child the best start to life.

We Will:

• Provide an inspiring and inclusive environment where children feel safe, secure, supported to grow in confidence to explore and learn
• Work in partnership and build respectful relationships with families and children to foster a learning culture
• Embed sustainability practices into our curriculum to highlight our responsibility to care for the environment and promote respect for resources and each other
