ABOUT
We offer a Montessori Family Daycare in a home environment for 0-6 years and before and after school care for primary learners. Our numbers limited to one educator per every four children.
We seek to excel above the National Framework and Standards and Early Years Learning Framework, and deliver a life time love of learning for the children, long after they leave care.
We believe that it is the child who leads the learning and play and provide supervision with direction to enhance their interests and experience. The educator is an extension of home environment with the parent/ carer as the primary teacher and day care a support for these values and functions to promote happy, healthy, vibrant, inquisitive minds and individuals. The rights of the child are paramount.
Tic Toc Tiny Tots is a warm, loving home away from home care environment where children are freely able to choose work activities and generally work uninterrupted to support their interests and development. Guidance and support is available and provided as needed to promote a courteous and respectful environment and socially responsible little tots.
We are committed to ongoing professional development and keen to understand and further our knowledge of the early learners and provide this information in an easy to access format sharing with parents and carers.
We will consult and inform our parents throughout the year to ensure that our service reflects best practice.
Our Commitment
Tic Tot Tiny Tots acknowledges and pays respect to the Nunukal, Koenpul and Nguhi tribes comprising the Quandamooka Sand and Sea people. Their long association, care and understanding of the land, sand and sea along with their cultural connection over the past 21,000 years provide us with learning how to tread lightly on the earth and learn about the world around us.
