Start your childcare journey with us
Smithfield Village Early Learning opened its doors back in 2014 and has continued to grow while welcoming new families to our beautiful, outdoor play inspired centre. Smithfield Village is a family owned and operated Centre with a state of the art 126 place centre with a focus on getting kids back out into nature!
We know supporting a developing child is a collaboration, so we encourage families to actively participate in the education and care of their children at our centre.
Our programs are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, consistent, challenging and holistic environment for young children and their families. Each child’s day has an individual rhythm, as well as a predictable flow and structure.
To ensure this balance, we provide a warm, supportive setting that encourages children to learn through a hands on interactive exploration. Children are encouraged to explore their environment in order to construct their own knowledge.
At Smithfield Village Early Learning we believe:
Each child is a unique individual, with his/her own pattern of development and potential for learning.
Children are intrinsically curious and learn best when they are encouraged to explore, take initiative and to problem solve through first hand experiences.
Families are the most important people in a child’s early years. We support, encourage and facilitate the active involvement of families to contribute and share in their child’s experiences while in our care.
We respect and value each child’s individual needs and abilities, their family values and their religious and cultural beliefs.
In providing our Early Childhood Educators with opportunities to fulfil their professional role by further developing their skills and knowledge through training and professional development, whilst having their needs and rights recognised and supported.
