Our Principles and Values

The Gap Community Early Learning Centre is a dynamic service that endeavours to engage in meaningful partnerships with all children, families, educators and community members. The learning environments within the service are created to assist children in their growing sense of Belonging, Being and Becoming. Our philosophy was reviewed in 2023 in consultation with families, staff and children of the service. Below are the three pillars which represent our current beliefs, values and principles.

At Gap Community Early Learning Centre, your child will receive:

  1. A play based environment
  2. Holistic learning opportunities 
  3. Collaborative relationships with our educators
