About Us

One Step Up Childcare view families as the child’s first and most influential educators and therefore we believe that families should be the root of our program. We work in partnership with families, valuing their knowledge, culture, and role in the lives of their children, ensuring every child feels supported and understood in their learning journey to ensure consistency and continuity. 

We celebrate the rich diversity of our community by embracing and respecting all cultures, languages, and traditions. Our centre is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all children, families, and staff feel welcomed and valued, ensuring that differences are not just accepted, but celebrated.

The safety and well-being of our children are paramount. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing, secure, and safe environment where children can explore, grow, and learn with confidence. Our approach is guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, where we view children as capable, curious, and creative individuals. We provide an environment that fosters inquiry, exploration, and collaboration, encouraging children to take an active role in their learning.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community and incorporate this understanding into our practices and teachings, paying respect to Elders past, present, and emerging.

We understand the profound significance of the first five years of life and honour that responsibility in all that we do. We recognise these early years as a foundation for future learning and development, ensuring that every interaction and experience supports the holistic growth of each child.
