Quality – We believe that the first five years of children’s lives are the most influential regarding brain growth and development. Quality early child care and education received in these crucial years will impact a child’s future and lifelong success. Our commitment to realising quality is evidenced through research, informed practice, and critical reflection.
2. Educators Practice - Kindy Rocks early learning educators value and recognise the environment as the 'third teacher'. Creating play spaces that are welcoming and authentic that engages and informs children beyond the direction an educator provides. These practices support the contemporary theories and research by the 'Reggio Emilia' approach

Relationships – Children develop a sense of belonging, being and becoming through the interaction they encounter from their families, carers, educators, and the wider community. These relationships become embedded through positive, honest communication, where collaboration and empathy are combined to build successful reciprocal partnerships.
4. Reflection – encourages Early childhood educators to adapt and adopt existing practices and acquire new skills and understandings. We need to analyse different aspects of experiences that we offer and what should be repeated, extended or changed.
