Our Core Value
We believe:
- in creating a space where approach to education inspires children towards life-long learning, by following their natural developmental trajectory.
- children need a safe, nurturing, supportive environment to learn and grow.
- in continuous improvement and growth through reflection
- in creating a space where children become confident, resilient, responsible, independent and capable learners, who trust in their own abilities.
- in creating environments where children can develop socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically.
- in an environment where children learn respect for self and others, have a voice, engage with the community and become environmentally responsible.
- children learn best through meaningful play and they support each other’s learning and development. Opportunities for unhurried and open-ended exploration of materials and the environment, supports children’s development and life skills.
- families are children’s first and most significant teachers. We value the language, customs, culture and beliefs that each child brings to our centre. We endeavour to build strong relationships with families that are based on mutual trust and respect.
- in collaborative pedagogy where educators, children, community and parents are encouraged to contribute ideas to the educational program.
The right environment for growing
We strive to provide:
the best possible care for the children at our centre as we
believe the early years are the building blocks of life. Our curriculum is fostered by
our philosophy, Montessori principles, the Victorian Early Years Learning &
Development Framework (VEYLDF) and the Early Years Learning Framework
(EYLF).

Why choose us
We ensure:
that our children are not only learning and cared for, but are also safe and respected during every moment of their time with us.
We do this by providing:
- The first six years of life are crucial in a child’s development
- The prepared environment activates a love of learning through curiosity, stability, and the freedom to choose
- Education should focus on preparing the whole child physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially
- Learning should be individually focused and self-paced
- The role of the educator is to guide and enrich each individual’s learning process
- Motivation to learn should come from within
- Children learn best through sensory exploration, hands-on tangible experiences, problem solving and real-world applications
- Bilbies ELC & Kinder is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children as our first priority. This is the primary focus of our interactions, planning, relationships and service wide decision making. We have zero tolerance for child abuse or racism of any kind.
- We are committed to providing a child safe environment where all children are safe (and feel safe) and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. At Bilbies we work to promote a culture of shared attitudes, values and policies/practices that prioritise the safety and wellbeing of all children.
- Our educators are highly qualified and follow the Montessori philosophy of care and education, offering ideal preparation for life in a calm and friendly environment.
- Active, growing bodies require excellent nutrition and our seasonal menus are created by our chef with this in mind. We also cook with our children so they learn the importance of nourishing themselves while preparing wholesome snacks.
