Our Philosophy

We acknowledge all learning at Djanangmum Preschool takes place on the Bundjalung land of the Galibal people. We respect Elders both past and present and extend that respect to our children, families, and community.

At Djanangmum Preschool every Jarjum is supported on their journey to belonging, being and becoming. Our environment is welcoming and inclusive, offering a unique learning journey and respect for the needs, cultures, faiths and experiences of all Jarjums. The language of our Galibal mob and ways of being are important to us and embedded in everything we do.

We believe that children learn best through play. Our program and learning environment give opportunity for both planned and spontaneous experiences that allow children to explore, investigate and inquire in their own time and own way. Jarjums are encouraged to be creative and thoughtful problem solvers. Jarjums explore well-resourced play spaces, supported by a team of Educators invested in their growth and development.

We believe that families are a child’s first and primary teacher. We aspire to learn from, communicate with and include families in all aspects of their child’s learning journey. We support our jarjums in a child-safe environment, where the health, safety and well-being of all children are forefront in governance, culture, and practice. This support extends to our families, who are empowered to champion and advocate their child’s successes and challenges.

We strive to develop a sense of wonder, belonging and love of nature in alljarjums, so they will become active citizens and develop a respectfulattitude towards the environment, ensuring a sustainable future.

We believe positive and well-planned transitions ensure continuity of learning and support the wellbeing of each child. We connect with local community organisations and contribute as part of our wider school community. Our Jarjums progressively grow in confidence as they develop connections and relationships within this space.
