As an organisation, we are committed to raising awareness about reconciliation, with the goal of encouraging all people in the broader community to embrace reconciliation and work towards reparation and healing for the Land’s First Peoples. Today our educational leaders met to share each Centre's journey towards reconciliation, sharing ideas to further empower our educators to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective in all aspect of the program.

19.01.2022 ! Today marks the start of National Child Protection Week. Putting children first means prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children.

19.01.2022 Today all of our Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs) participated in a Professional Development for the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) program.

Our ECTs extend the program into the childrens physical learning environments. Todays PD outlined how to maximise the app experience for each child and how to engage in off screen experiences that incorporate aspects of the app.

16.01.2022 A Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) is a document that identifies a childcare services goals for quality improvement and notes some strategies for achieving those goals. It helps everyone at the service to stay focused on the improvements and on implementing the strategies needed to achieve the goals. Yesterday, our Centre Managers across our Kids Capers Childcare services spent some quality time exploring their QIP document to ensure it reflects their current goals and explore ways they can improve on their centre practices.

05.01.2022 This morning, our leadership team attended a personal development course about the FISH Philosophy. The FISH Philosophy describes four elements of extraordinary customer service and helps to implement them in a workplace. It also teaches us that we dont have to be dead serious about our job and we should look for fun and amusement every time it doesnt interfere with our work. The 4 elements include; Choose your attitude- A positive attitude is our choice Be there- Focus on ...the task youre doing, focus on a person youre trying to help, dont fly away with your thoughts from where you are now Make Their Day- If you do something special for your customers or co-workers, you can be sure that the next time someone will do something good for you Play- As long as you find the pleasure in coming to your work, youll have more enthusiasm, energy and you will be keener to do your best The good thing about this philosophy is that its not only about engaging people and creating positive change in their workplaces, it is also about our daily lives every time we have to deal with something we dislike.
