At Barfa Bear Child Care Centre we strive to create a warm and healthy homely environment for the personal care and education of your child.
We aim to encourage your child to thrive, by providing stimulating, varied, fun and creative developmental opportunities through play: a playful learning environment that encourages children to interact, role-play, socialize & grow, to develop secure and trusting relationships with Carers and other children.
Barfa Bear Child Care Centre is a Christian based child care centre. We openly welcome families of all cultural & religious backgrounds. However, the Centre will be conducted with a Christian ethos; saying Grace before meals and celebrating Easter & Christmas.
Our qualified team of professional staff is dedicated and caring individuals who believe in the importance of high level personal teacher interactions. Our professional Performance Management Program has been designed to assist our staff to maintain the highest level of qualifications, knowledge and training that is available to them. We believe that the knowledge and experience of our staff will enrich the quality of the Centre and the early childhood developmental programs available to our children.
At Barfa Bear Child Care Centre, we believe in the philosophy of Teamwork. The success of our Team, not only involves members of our staff and children, but in partnering with the parents and families of our children - by complementing the care that they receive at home.
We believe that you, the parents and families of our children, play the most significant role in your child's life. Equally, you have an important role in Barfa's success through your valued communication, participation and involvement with the Centre and your child's Carer; helping us to individually tailor the most appropriate programs for your individual child. Your support and participation in our Centre's programmed activities, such as: Celebration Concerts, Plays, ?Open Centre Evenings', Parent/Teacher Conferences, volunteering and participating for a day at the Centre or in excursions, Feedback sheets, your child's Annual Activity Report Journals, Fund-Raising, etc, are imperative in the success of these programs.
We believe in modeling strict hygiene and safety standards and awareness in the Centre, for the children to learn and adopt. We believe in utilising positive role-modeling and communication with children. Positive communication encourages and promotes positive behaviour, promotes acceptance, individuality, and helps a child develop strong self-concept and esteem; this will be achieved through consistency, guidance, patience and routine.
Our Aim for every child, is "Empowerment"
To guide them and care for them so that they may be able to:
* Believe in themselves
* Be liked
* Be confident
* Be brave and independent
* Experiment and explore
* Achieve their own success
