Our Philosophy
Child Australia’s core philosophy is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which Australia is a signatory. They protect children in their most vulnerable and formative years and are founded on ensuring rights without discrimination irrespective of a child’s race, language, religion, ethnic origin, disability or other status. We have an obligation to enact these rights through inclusion of all children in early childhood settings. The Rights of the Child are also supported by current neuroscientific research indicating that loving, stable, secure and stimulating environments and relationships in a child’s early years lay the foundations for future positive cognitive and social development. Today’s generation of children is the first in which a component of early childhood is spent in some form of child care services. This highlights the contribution that early childhood settings make to our children’s future success and provides context for the importance of a culture of collaboration and integrated service delivery in improving the quality of early childhood services. Investment in early childhood education and care is an investment in our children’s and community’s future.
Our Vision
