Pole Depot's Childcare Philosophy

At Pole Depot we strive to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment in which children of middle-school-age feel secure, welcomed and supported.

We provide opportunities where these children can develop life skills in a healthy and hygienic setting.

We encourage them to participate in stimulating, play activities where tolerance, independence and self concept are fostered to develop the whole child.  Children learn through play.

We recognise, respect and value all families' diversity by implementing a program which reflects our community cultures.
