Cuddly Bear Child Care and Kindergarten would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we stand, the Wurundjeri people and we pay our respects to all Elders past, present and emerging. We welcome all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to our service.
Cuddly Bear Childcare and Kindergarten is also a place where people of all abilities, neurodiversity, diverse genders and sexual orientations are welcomed and supported.
Our aim is to provide a safe, happy, secure, inclusive and stimulating environment for the children, which encourages a positive experience towards learning. This will be done in a variety of ways, which supports each individual child’s self-esteem, while fostering the joy of learning and children's individual learning goals. Our Service is committed to the safety, wellbeing and support of all children and young people. We take a ‘zero’ tolerance approach to child abuse and are committed to raise awareness about the importance of child safety in our environment and the community.
Research shows that play-based learning is a powerful way to support children’s development. These benefits last into the school years and beyond.
The evidence also shows that two years are better than one when it comes to early learning. At Cuddly Bear, we understand the importance of early start kinder and provide a program that challenges and supports children's individual learning goals.
We understand the importance of providing children the opportunity to reach their full potential through a child-centred, emergent, collaborative, teaching and learning environment inspired by nature and driven by children and families' individual needs, interests and wants.
As ambitious leaders in the community, we are proud to be the highest rated service in the Heathmont area!
