Our Philosophy
Our evolving philosophy is at the heart of everything we do at SOCCS. This is reviewed often with feedback from families and educators. Please click here to view our current philosophy.
Strathfield One Stop Child Care Service uses the Early Years Learning Framework "in partnership with families, children's first and most influential educators, to develop learning programs responsive to children's ideas, interests, strengths and abilities, and recognise that children learn through play" (Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace, (2009). BELONGING, BEING & BECOMING The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia). Following this curriculum, we aim to extend and enrich children's learning from birth through to the transition to school. Our educators develop physical learning environments that are secure and predictable with adequate space and appropriate facilities and resources to enable children to choose what they will do. Our childcare and learning environment caters to different learning capacities and styles to invite children and families to contribute ideas, interests, and questions (EYLF, 2009, Standard 3.2).

Meet Our Dedicated Staff

Our Educators are highly trained. In each room, there is an Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) and a diploma-trained Educator, and this is not mandatory. Our Cert.

We feel this is important to provide quality education and care. We have a very diverse team of staff which we are very proud of.

Some of the countries represented amongst our staff include India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, China, Turkey, Portugal, Malaysia and Lebanon.
