Our Philosophy

Now Taking New Enrolments

At Leppington Childcare Centre, we believe every child is a unique, capable and curious learner.

Our philosophy is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and centred around six key pillars that shape the way we care, teach and create meaningful learning experiences for every child.

Our Philosophy Pillars

1. Belonging & Relationships
We create warm, secure and nurturing relationships where every child feels safe, valued and a strong sense of belonging.

2. Learning Through Play
We believe children learn best through play, exploration and discovery. Our educators extend children’s interests through meaningful experiences that encourage creativity, problem-solving and a lifelong love of learning.

3. Wellbeing
We nurture the whole child, supporting emotional, social and physical wellbeing while building confidence, resilience and independence.

4. Nature & Sustainability
Children are encouraged to connect with the natural world through our veggie garden, gardening program, chicken farm and natural learning environments, developing respect for animals, nature and sustainability.

5. Inclusion & Culture
We celebrate diversity, culture and individuality, creating an inclusive environment where every child and family feels welcomed, respected and represented.

6. Families & Community
We recognise families as children’s first and most influential teachers and value strong partnerships, open communication and meaningful connections with our wider community.

Our Commitment

Our qualified and passionate educators provide experiences that reflect each child’s interests, strengths and individual development.

Through play-based learning, intentional teaching and our School Readiness Program, we support children to develop the confidence, skills and independence they need for school and beyond.

A place to belong, learn, explore and grow

Empowering our children
