The neuroscience is clear; the most important time in our lives are the first few thousand days.
It is during this time that we develop most of our understanding of the world we were born into, and it is the environment, and the people we associate with, who nurture, guide and role model, that plays a significant role in predicting our success later in life.
It goes without saying then that the right early learning environment and school is critical to a child’s development.
At Christ Church Grammar School and Early Learning Centre, we understand the nature of relationships on nurturing a young child’s needs and development.
Our staff are experts in ensuring your child enters a safe, happy and supportive environment to begin their early education.
After our recent fire that demolished our buildings, it was our staff that within 24 hours had repurposed rooms in our main school and welcomed our children into a new but familiar environment.
Our school hall and music rooms were repurposed, but it was the familiar face, warm smile and embrace of our staff that ensured our children didn’t miss a beat.
Leaving your child in care is always a stressful contemplation, and I am often asked what to look for in an early learning centre or school.
The answer is always the quality of the relationships between the educator and child and educator and parent.
It’s nice to have a beautiful building and awesome playground, but none of these matter as much as the warmth, care, and love of the educators.
It is what stands us apart.
Our team not only loves to educate, they love the children too.
And the children love learning because the adults supporting them take the time to know them, to understand them and guide them.
I invite you to come and meet our team, speak with them, and watch them in action as they guide and support the young children in their care.
You will be surprised at the difference!
Neil Andary,
Principal.
