Our philosophy underpins everything we do at Binnowee. It represents our values and beliefs about early childhood education and informs our daily practice. The philosophy is reflected in each of our policies and guides our policy development and review. Our philosophy and policies relate to the 7 Quality Areas of the National Quality Standard.

The Binnowee philosophy was reviewed with changes made in February 2026.

# data[].attributes.body
In addition to the philosophy, the staff, board members and families worked on writing a vision statement for Binnowee in 2022. The statement captures the goals and essence of Binnowee Kindergarten.

# data[].attributes.body
The Binnowee word cloud was created in 2022 after asking children and families to share words from the philosophy that they felt best reflected and described Binnowee. Using these words, we created a ‘wordle’ to represent and highlight the essence of Binnowee and our philosophy. The words in our Binnowee leaf wordle are what mean the most to the children, families and staff at Binnowee. The words were also used to write the Vision Statement for Binnowee.
