MEET THE TEAM
MEET THE DIRECTOR
My name is Tamara Riach and I am the proud Director of Little World Worongary.
From a young age I always knew that I wanted to work in the Early Childhood Sector, growing up in a big family and being the oldest of four, I was always looking out for and caring for my younger family members. This made me sure I wanted a career working with and educating children. I pursued my dream career in 2012 when I started as a trainee educator at my local schools after school care program, since then I have worked in a range of different positions and environments around Australia.
I believe that every child is unique and learns in their own unique way, I feel it is important for our little ones to have the potential to thrive in a supportive and engaging environment as we support and foster their love for learning allowing them to feel empowered to express themselves.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that children are capable and active learners and that play-based learning experiences that challenges, reflect ideas, interests, curiosity and family life events are the foundations of learning. Children’s learning experiences are scaffolded through intentional teaching and spontaneous experiences in a holistic approach learning environment. We believe in the importance of learning environments organised as a third teacher that supports children’s curiosity and encourages a sense of agency and self-help skills. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential and have access to high-quality care, and that every child’s aspect of being, becoming and belonging is recognised within the curriculum. Our curriculum is guided by approved curriculum frameworks, which encourages children to explore, investigate and foster children’s imagination, creativity and promotes a healthy lifestyle. We value the importance of building a trusting and positive relationship with families that acknowledges individuality and each families diverse cultural beliefs and backgrounds. We encourage our families input and involvement in their child’s learning and development as a valuable influence in their children’s life and wellbeing, and to be actively involved in Centre events. We support families transition and life changes by sharing information from relevant community and inclusion support groups and links. We at Little World we establish connections with the wider community through community events, open communication with local school, excursions and incursion to enrich children’s learning and development. We source and invite local community groups to share learning opportunities and links to enrich our cultural competency within our Centre. We embed the importance of promoting sustainability awareness and practices within our daily routines and curriculum. Establish a well-resourced, sustainable and natural learning environment that promotes children’s curiosity, exploration, investigation and most of all love for the natural world. We are committed to providing high-quality care which reflects the National Quality Standards by continued critical reflections and professional development, that mentor and support educators to work effectively, harmoniously and collaboratively within the team. We seek community support and involvement in gathering information and extending knowledge to support children’s learning and developmental needs.
