Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy
“The overall aim of CASS Childcare Services is to promote the well-being of children under our care through our risk management efforts and non-discriminating practice in child care programs. We value and believe in a caring and stimulating environment which provides safety and security for children.
Individual children are valued and encouraged to choose activities in which they are interested. Play enables children to learn by ‘hands on experiences’. We recognise that play is the means by which young children develop their physical, intellectual and social/emotional skills.”

All staff in there are very generous and considerate to kids equally. I was worried whether my child can connect with community in here because my child was shy and having language barrier at that moment. As a result, my child could easily adjust new environment here when she applied due to all help and kindness. I much appreciate all staff and services. Read more
