an inspiring early learning centre for children

We are guided by the Early Years of Learning Framework which recognises the uniqueness of the individual and the value of diversity.

What do we stand for?

Mirrabrook’s mission is to create an early learning centre of excellence for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age. The centre will provide an environment for young children to enjoy a range of learning experiences that will foster self-esteem, resilience, imagination, curiosity and the motivation to become a lifelong learner. The early years are of great importance for brain and emotional development. Our objective is to provide programs that encourage social relationships. Young children become active learners through a play-based program that encourages thinking, investigating, exploring and problem solving in a social environment. The learning experiences provided will assist children to develop an understanding about themselves and diversity guided by EYLF (curriculum framework). Parents will be valued for their participation, involvement and partnership. They will be encouraged to share their expectations.

Who manages and staffs the centre?

Mirrabrook is a venture of Saint Ignatius’ College, Riverview and while strongly supported by the College is managed independently. The centre is non-denominational and welcomes both boys and girls from 6 weeks to 5 years of age. Long day care will be provided 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year from 7am to 6pm. The centre has dedicated experienced educators, wanting to work together as a team with children and parents. The physical environment is welcoming, stimulating and provoking.

our philosophy

We are committed to providing exceptional care and education to young children. Relationships are at the core of all that we do, with interlinking connections amongst children, educators, families and the community forming the foundation for our practices.

Coming from this place of strength allows us to create an environment that fosters authentic, meaningful and high-quality teaching and learning. Our child-centred approach champions each child and their skills, knowledge, ideas, abilities and culture, and this holistic view allows us to support children in a way that respects and values them as the unique individuals they are.
In relation to children:

Respectful relationships between educators and children are valued as a core principle. We also recognise the importance of friendship in the early years and support children in building relationships with each other.

We believe in the child’s right to an environment where they feel safe and secure and know that such an environment will allow them to thrive. Safeguarding and protecting children from harm is at the forefront of our practices.
In relation to children:

A holistic approach to wellbeing encompasses the child’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual selves, with the awareness that each of these must be nurtured.

Spending time in nature and teaching children about emotions, acceptance, empathy, respect, equity, fairness, self-expression and self-care nurtures the development of their wellbeing in each of these intertwined dimensions.

Play spaces have the power to spark, transform and deepen thinking, so we strive to provide an environment that drives curiosity, confidence, joy and fulfillment and encourages children to explore, question, problem-solve and imagine.
In relation to educators:

We celebrate the strengths, knowledge, skills and experiences that each team member brings and strive to ensure our environment is welcoming, supportive and inspiring. We value collaboration, reflective practice, the sharing of knowledge, and opportunities for robust professional conversations. Ongoing opportunities for professional development further support our culture of a community of learners.

Educators thrive with effective, supportive leadership that welcomes and hears all voices. We value the importance of employing and retaining high-quality educators, maintaining continuity of team members and a group of colleagues who have established strong, respectful working relationships.
In relation to families and the community:

Strong, honest and respectful partnerships with families form a culture of reciprocal sharing, interaction, and participation. We acknowledge and value each families’ uniqueness and celebrate and embrace each one.

We respect and uphold the ethos of the local community, with whom we enjoy a much-valued reciprocal relationship, nurtured through collaborative projects, community excursions and inviting visitors.

The Cammeraygal people are celebrated and acknowledged daily as the traditional custodians of our local land. We value time spent on country at our Nature Space where children benefit from interacting and engaging with the natural environment.
