Our Philosophy

“Play, play, play – play every day!” (Liam, child).

Terranora Child Care Centre is a place where children are nurtured and loved. Our service has an inviting, caring and friendly atmosphere. Every child is welcome here.

TCCC “makes me feel happy,” (Arlo, child).

At our service, children are supported to live happy and healthy lives. Children’s independence and resilience is promoted because we believe that each child should be confident in who they are, and who they are becoming. Children are respected as capable human beings.

“Cos, kids need to be free,” (Kiara, child).

Our programs aim to create “values, social skills, self-esteem and confidence in our children, “ (Amy, parent).

“It’s a child’s foundation for the rest of their life,” (Karen, parent).

We consider everyone in our service community to be ‘part of the family’. We recognise that each child is unique, as is their family. Our families participate at the service in many different ways.

Educators “work with families for the best outcomes for their child,” (Claire, educator).

Educators take the time to nurture children, getting to know them as individuals. They assist children to take the next step in their learning and development, then celebrate in their achievements alongside them. At our service we promote a play-based curriculum as the most effective way for young children to learn.

TCCC is a “friendly, safe environment where my child can learn and grow in a fun and stimulating way,” (Kelly, parent).

Educators draw on a diverse range of skills and knowledge to create a learning environment that is a stimulating, fun, enriching and inspiring place for children to be. Our educators and management team are approachable, and always willing to collaborate to reach common goals. We have a high professional standard.

“I just can’t believe I’m here, because I just love coming here!” (Bridget, child).

Our team works diligently to implement the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), My Time Our Place (MTOP) and National Quality Framework (NQF), which are the documents that guide Early Childhood Education and Care in Australia. We uphold the ideals of the EYLF, MTOP and NQF that encourage us to individualise our service according to the needs of our community.

“You have your hearts in the right place – everyone cares about the children,” (Nispa, parent).

Building and maintaining strong and trusting relationships is always a priority at our service. It is the quality of our relationships that makes us who we are as a community.

“We all take time to nurture our children at TCCC and support each child’s individuality,” (Maria, educator).
