Ashmore Community Children’s Centre was established on the 17th February 1986 and is a wonderful community-based child care centre set in a natural environment. The centre has been proudly providing care to Gold Coast children for over 30 years and as a not for profit community child care centre, any profits made are invested in the centre, staff and program to provide the best early education experience for our children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashmore Community Children\u2019s Centre is a small centre that has a maximum of 44 children each day. The beauty of a small centre, like ours, is that all the educators and staff have a close personal relationship with all the children and their extended families. We cater for children aged 6 weeks through to 5 years of age.<\/p>\n

The centre is overseen by a volunteer Parent Management Committee, and this gives parents a fantastic opportunity to contribute their expertise and also be involved in the decisions that shape the direction of the centre.<\/p>\n

The centre provides healthy and nutritious meals, all prepared in our on-site kitchen by our dedicated cooks. Our menu is approved by Nutrition Australia and reflects the dietary needs of the children in our care.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We at Ashmore Community Children\u2019s Centre are committed to the pursuit of excellence in the provision of a quality learning environment which is accessible, inclusive and play based.\u00a0 We see play as the \u201cheartbeat\u201d of our curriculum, it supports all areas of education and care.<\/p>\n

Virtues<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our ongoing relationships with families ensure that we provide a warm, supportive, nurturing care and education environment that is an extension of home.<\/p>\n

We aim to allow each child in our care to achieve their potential by creating an environment where children can become enthusiastic, inquiring and challenged.<\/p>\n

Children are encouraged to follow their own interests; to take risks where they become in a sense, a catalyst for their own curriculum.<\/p>\n

Our curriculum is based around a number of key concepts and focus points reflecting the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) Belonging, Being and Becoming.<\/p>\n

We encourage and support respectful and reciprocal relationships with the community to foster involvement in children\u2019s learning and ongoing involvement in our centre.<\/p>\n

We acknowledge, promote and respect a greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being.<\/p>\n
