At SSP our philosophy is deeply rooted in the principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Circle of Courage model. We embrace the core values of:

• Belonging: Fostering a sense of community where every child feels valued and connected, aligning with the EYLF's emphasis on secure, respectful, and reciprocal relationships.

• Independence: Encouraging children to develop confidence and a growth mindset, reflecting the Circle of Courage's 'I Can Do It' value.

• Kindness: Promoting compassion, empathy, and positive interactions, supporting the EYLF's focus on children's wellbeing and the Circle of Courage's value of kindness.

• Responsible Decision-Making: Supporting children in developing social awareness and responsible decision-making skills, integrating the EYLF's principles of high expectations and equity with the Circle of Courage 'Making Good Choices' value.

Through this foundation, we foster an enriching early learning experience that nurtures each child's potential in a faith-filled, inclusive and respectful environment.
