Develop a positive self concept in all children. Guide behaviour in a positive way, never rejecting the child and never using physical punishment. CHALLENGING BEHAVIOURS From time to time children may develop a pattern of behaviour which interferes with their ability to fully participate in the program or that places themselves or others at risk. Early intervention in dealing with this behaviour is paramount. In particular it is important to identify potential triggers for the behaviour. A plan will be developed by the team of Educators in the room, in collaboration with the family. A referral to other early childhood professional/s may be necessary for additional support.

(Small Poppies SA, third edition) EXCURSIONS AND EVENTS Excursions are an integral part of our programme, especially for those children who part of our Kindy program. Some of the excursions our kindy children have taken part in include: the Museum, Bike Safety centre, Art Gallery, ASO, theatre performances. They also have regular trips to the Stirling Library, Beach Kindy and Bush kindy. Outings and excursions provide children with another dimension to learning, as well as connecting them to the wider community. When children are taken on excursions, a signed parent consent is required. Verbal consent is not enough. Authorisation for your child to participate in short, local walks under educator supervision is included on the enrolment form. Educators undertake a risk assessment for each excursion and measures are put in place to ensure the safety of children. (eg the allocation of additional adults to the group) All children also take part in events throughout the year. Events that we have organised have included; Wheels Day, Grandfriends Day, Water Day, Mud Day, National Recyling Day, to name but a few. We have also invited SAPOL, CFS, Bugs and Slugs, Animal Capers, and Marra Dreaming Group in talk to the children. The centre always takes part in the annual Stirling Christmas Pageant.
