Today, when “language”, can be extended to computer language— C language, Python ,Jave ,etc.
When “communication” is also inclusive of usage of media, in different languages, and with people all across the world.
When “climate change”, becomes a more authentic experience around us—the more extreme weather, more frequent bush fires, floods etc.
Within this rapidly changing society, the fast-growing globalisation and digitalisation nowadays, one of the significant questions that we ask ourselves as educators is how can we prepare our children to be ready as the 21st century global citizen?
At Wattle Planet Early Learning, we share the same commitment with families to watch children grow in a loving, nurturing and safe environment as our primary goal. We pride ourselves on providing diligently designed, premium-quality facilities and a highly experienced, passionate educational team. Every member in Wattle Planet team is fully committed to each child’s safety, wellbeing, and protection, and dedicated to creating a safe, respectful, and empowering environment where every child feels secure, valued, and supported.
We firmly believe that the scope and content of early childhood education are crucial foundations for children’s learning, development, and wellbeing during their early years and throughout life. Therefore, our vision is to help Millennial Learners equip themselves during their journey in our inspiring universe. The essential learning dispositions developed in our universe include, but are not limited to, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, innovation, problem-solving, communication, resilience, and many others.
Above all else, we strongly believe in the fundamental importance for our next generation to be supported and encouraged in their sense of well-being, particularly in their pursuit of genuine happiness. To fulfill this universal pursuit, we specifically created our unique philosophical approach of HAPPY.
H-olistic
Viewing every individual child as a whole human- being with their own pace of physical, emotional, and psychological development. Seeing children’s learning as integrated and interconnected. Accepting the wholeness of children’s perspective helps them establish their own identity and their connection to the natural world.
A-cceptance
Piloting children to accept who we are, where we are from, which cultural background we belong to, and accept the rights and responsibilities we each have. Equally important is accepting the differences with others, therefore being respectful, tolerant, empathetic, understanding, appreciative, and more.
P-artnerships
Identifying the genuine partnership between families and professional educators is crucial. Building the connections on our shared goals for children and a clear understanding of a family’s expectations. More importantly, expanding this positive relationship to broader interactions among children, educators, families, as well as the wider community.
P-otential
Believing, valuing, and seeing the unlimited potential that each child obtains. Motivating them to enhance their own capacities. Helping them to recognise their own strengths and encouraging them to achieve.
Y-es approach
Developing ‘can-do’ growth mindsets and positive parenting guidance approaches. Aiming to forge optimism and to build children’s self-esteem and confidence. Cultivating a yes culture in our centre and initiating young minds to be creative, positive, and resilient.
HAPPINESS inspires HAPPINESS.
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
– John Lennon
