John McMahon Early Learning Centre

Our core values at John McMahon Early Learning Centre:

• Providing a rich curriculum that includes planned and spontaneous experiences, routines and interactions that support children’s learning and development.
• Delivering intentional teaching that builds on children's knowledge, capabilities and interests through contemporary play-based learning. We recognise play as a powerful way for children to express agency, build competence and develop a strong sense of identity, belonging and wellbeing.
• Creating opportunities for children to discover, create, imagine and problem solve through shared thinking, open conversations, modelling and guided questioning.
• Ensuring children have the time and space to explore, revisit and deepen their learning through open-ended materials and experiences.
• Building authentic partnerships with families and communities that are respectful, cooperative and grounded in trust.
