We believe in the uniqueness of each individual and the differences each community possesses. Each of the Glen Education kindergartens therefore, have maintained its own service philosophy. We acknowledge there are common threads that bind each philosophy and thus the Glen Education community together.
Each Kindergarten acknowledges its connection to the Glen Eira Kindergarten Association (Glen Education) Inc. and upholds the vision and values of this association. We believe that a statement of the kindergarten’s philosophy changes as new insights are gained and practice is evaluated.
Glen Education’s philosophy is influenced by the Glen Education Code of Conduct, the National Quality Framework, the ECA Code of Ethics (2016) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Glen Education Vision: The leading provider of innovative, professional and inclusive early years education that delivers excellence in learning.
