Playcentre philosophy is based on the ideas
of child-initiated play and parents as first educators.
Playcentre is an early childhood education
service, run as a parent co-operative, which commits to the following
in order to ensure the quality of early childhood education in each
session:
|
Because
sessions are run as a co-operative, parents meet out of session to
share experiences and information about the children, and meet the
business needs of an early childhood centre. Decisions are usually done
by consensus, to ensure all members feel heard and understood. Everyone
is expected to take responsibility for something, depending on their
capabilities and availability.
|
We
are very proud of the excellent quality of our adult education
programme and attendance in it is an essential component of being a
Playcentre parent. This ensures we meet the requirements for licensed
and chartered centres and more importantly, parents learn how to run
sessions within Playcentre philosophy. |
