Buddies Early Learning

 

Buddies is dedicated to creating a home like environment that is welcoming and warm. We place a strong emphasis on partnerships with families and the surrounding community. Each family’s cultural and linguistic diversity is embraced and acknowledged, with the Jewish culture in particular embedded into the program. Buddies operate sustainable centres and include these practices into the childrens’ daily activities to make them more informed and responsible citizens.

In addition to our rich and varied curriculum we provide regular excursions, music, yoga, Hebrew and sport programs delivered by qualified specialist teachers as part of our educational programming.

Our teachers are committed to ongoing learning and professional development and are respected for their individual strengths and abilities which they bring to our team.

 
 

Our centre at 143 Jasper Rd Bentleigh has been providing kindergarten programs for 3 and 4 year olds since 2008 in 2 separate classrooms with each having adjoining adventure play grounds. We have recently upgraded our outdoor play spaces to incorporate a more natural environment and remodelled our entrance foyer to improve security and upgrade information displays.

Our centre at 181 Grange Rd Glenhuntly has been designed with superior quality in mind. Our 4 rooms from 1 to 5 years of age are light and airy, modern and spacious and incorporate wonderful educational spaces and opportunities inside coupled with fabulous outdoor environments to challenge and stimulate the interest of all the children.

 
 
 
 
 
 

At Buddies everything we do from an educational, social and wellbeing point of view incorporates the elements of learning, community, environment and culture.

These are essential for each individual child to excel and achieve their full potential as well as develop an understanding of responsibility to each other, their families and their community. 

Our commitment to Child Safety

Buddies is committed to safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. This will be the primary focus of our care and decision-making.

Buddies has zero tolerance for child abuse.

Buddies is committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Particular attention will be paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Each person involved at Buddies has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/she plays individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.
