Your Kingscliff Childcare and Preschool… where everyone belongs
Smiley Tots Preschool & Early Learning Centre is a proud family owned and operated Kingscliff childcare service. We have been an integral part of the Chinderah and Kingscliff community for over 20 years.
We pride ourselves on our outstanding reputation for providing a high-quality, play-based and educational program with a friendly, family-orientated atmosphere.
We are an extremely inclusive service and welcome all children no matter what their needs and abilities. Our highly trained and compassionate educators have vast experience in working with children with additional needs and medical conditions as well as working collaboratively with their therapists. With the assistance of the Inclusion Support Program we also employ additional educators to ensure all children’s needs are met to the best of our ability.
The Smiley Tots Philosophy
We believe early childhood is a magical time of learning and discovery where children and educators weave the path of learning together through a combination of spontaneous and planned play opportunities.
We believe in a high quality, play-based program and embed the Early Years Learning Framework into our everyday practices and curriculum.
We value respect, acceptance and inclusion.
We acknowledge and respect all cultures including the traditional custodians of our land.
We value our relationship with families and the wider community, which is reflected through our open door policy.
We believe in having fun in a relaxed and friendly environment and this is the key to our positive and happy atmosphere.
Early childhood is a time to be… be messy, be creative, explore, play, learn, laugh, have fun, discover…
Early childhood is a time for children to be children.
