The passionate educators each bring a unique perspective and the ability to tailor lessons to the needs of each child. Some of the staff have worked at the centre for more than 20 years.

The educators work closely with the families and the local community to build strong connections. The educators work collaboratively as a team and focus on ongoing professional development to enhance their own skills and knowledge. They are highly skilled at working with each child on an individual level to meet their unique needs.

The centre meets the national regulations for educator to child ratios across the service. They take a service-based approach to enable flexibility in meeting children’s interests and needs.

CASS Gumnut Early Learning Hurstville has an open-door policy that supports the parents and educators working in partnership together. Parents are encouraged to communicate regularly and openly with educators so they have the information they need to meet each child’s needs. 

The educators communicate with parents via the Kinderm8 app, newsletters, communication books, email and phone calls. They are also available for formal meetings and informal face-to-face chats. Parents can provide feedback or input to their child’s program.

Parents are welcome to contribute a photo to the family photo wall. Other involvement, such as sharing ideas, experiences, hobbies and skills, is also encouraged. Parents can also visit the centre to read with the children or donate recyclable items for the children to use in craft activities.
