Poets Grove Family & Children’s Centre Philosophy
Our philosophy—underpinned by the values of our children, families, education team and our local community—represents our commitment to learning.
Respecting First Nations People
Poets Grove Family and Children’s Centre acknowledges the Boonwurrung as the First People of this land. We strive to embed the perspectives and teachings of the Boonwurrung people in our everyday learning and engagements. View our Reconciliation Action Plan.
Giving Children Agency
Poets Grove is dedicated to the education, support, and nurturing of children. We believe children thrive when they are valued for who they are and are encouraged to contribute to decisions about matters that affect them.
Community as a Force for Good
We partner with families to create a vibrant community that promotes wellbeing, joy of learning and reciprocal relationships.

Our Educational Team at Poets Grove is committed to being responsive and reflective. We view ourselves as a community of thinkers and learners. Our educators take every opportunity to support children in developing an understanding and respect for diversity, equity, and justice.
