Our Philosophy

At Subicare we value the importance of early childhood education and are committed to supporting the learning and development of each individual child. This is achieved through providing high quality education and care informed by the National Quality Framework, Code of Ethics, Conventions on the Rights of the Child, WA Kindergarten Curriculum, and key principles from several early childhood theories.

We recognise the importance of good health and wellbeing, maintaining nurturing and respectful relationships, engaging in meaningful interactions and believe in providing an inclusive environment that fosters opportunities for all children to learn and develop through play at their own pace, gaining the skills necessary to become lifelong learners.

Our service is committed to reconciliation and respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of our land, the Whadjuk Noongar people. Aligning with respect we have for Country and the natural world; we strive to always act sustainably and be environmentally responsible. At the core of our curriculum is also a shared vision of five core values (Care, Relationships, Potential, Equality & Fun) and it is through upholding these values, that we aim to always provide the best possible early childhood education and care and actively support our wider community.
