As you enter our service you are greeted by an area,  we have created a space that allows our parents, families and visitors to the centre to take the weight off their feet while they are at the centre, whether waiting for their child or taking some time out. With a variety of books to read or loan we endeavour to make those who are visiting Future Kids to feel welcomed and comfortable.

Our book resource invites those who use it to donate a book or take one home through our take and return system.

• Our philosophy:

• Future Kids Williams Landing is a community of dynamic and dedicated educators and staff, and families who are welcomed into a warm and nurturing Early Childhood environment.  Here you will find a centre that strives to provide high quality education and care to the children in our care.
• We are at this opportune time to be a part of a child’s life, right at their early years, and we nurture and provide them a safe environment, where they can grow and thrive.  We believe that each child is unique.  They bring in their character, personality, talents, ideas, and culture, and we celebrate them, so they know they belong.  Here in their community apart from home, they are respected, supported, and celebrated.  They belong.
• We value our families, their voice, and their involvement.  Our utmost aim is to foster an atmosphere that encourages the children to grow and learn.  We believe that this vision will be realised only when we work hand in hand with them.  We uphold their cultural and family values, and beliefs, embedding them in our celebrations, learning experiences, and everyday practices.
• Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued.  We aim to know more so we can do more to honour the wonderful people and culture that brought all of us together.
• We believe that the community plays an important role in shaping our children to become the kind, responsible adults of the future.  We recognise our community’s rich diversity, treating everyone with respect and equity, ensuring that we include every child, providing opportunities for them to feel that they belong.  We set out to introduce each child to the world around them, because they are an intrinsic part of the greater whole.
• We embrace the Early Years Learning Framework as a guide to support our Educators in providing an educational program that is rich and meaningful to the children.   We support every child, meeting them where they are in their age, stage of development and needs.  We endeavour to work hand in hand with their families and carers, to provide them the best care and learning environment.  We take advantage of what the technology can offer, to continually support families, and the children’s learning, ready to be accessed anytime, anywhere.  The Early Years Learning Framework – Belonging, Being, Becoming – guides our practice in seeing all children as successful, competent individuals.   Believing that the children are capable learners, we foster the children’s sense of agency, encouraging them to be active participants in their learning.
• We stand by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as we advocate for every child’s right to play, to learn, to grow in a safe and warm environment.  We consist of people from diverse backgrounds, but we work with a common aim:  to celebrate each child so they can be the best that they can be now, and in the future.  Together we stand here, right at the beginning of a child’s life, understanding the power of our words and our presence.  We will be the voice that speaks to them, “You are amazing!  We believe in you and in what you can do!”
