Working together
A supportive partnership
At Elles Belles Early Learning, we work together with our families to develop a supportive partnership and promote trusting relationships based on honest, open communication and mutual respect.
Families at Elles Belles Early Learning feel confident leaving their child in our care, knowing that we always put the children first and are passionate about caring for and educating your child. We educate and care for each individual child and support their learning from the moment they start at Elles Belles Early Learning.
Through our Community Engagement Program, children also connect with the wider community, with visits to places such as Bunnings, Officeworks, aged care homes and other places within the community.
What that looks like
How we work alongside you
Three things every Elles Belles family can count on from the day their child starts with us.
Open communication
We encourage all families to communicate openly and appreciate feedback in all aspects. Our families are encouraged to be actively involved in the programs, special events and incursions we offer at our campuses.
Every day, we send families images and documentation of their child’s learning through their Daily Reflection, so you can see what they have been exploring and talk about it together at home.
Guidance when you need it
We offer guidance, support and resources to assist families when requested. We acknowledge that you are the primary role model and teacher in your child’s life and respect that.
Beyond our campuses
Support from the Department too
The Department of Education and Training has a section on early childhood which includes child safety, health and development, children with additional needs, learning in the early years, moving to primary school, and working with families and the community.
