What is one of the main aspects of Early 
Learning Environments that creates 
a unique community orientated place of 
engaged learning?
After only just over 5 years within a Director/Nominated 
Supervisor role with the support of Giggletree I have 
realised it is the people including all children, families, 
educators, owners & community networks that all come 
together in the one place & time to create these learning 
opportunities for each other and for children.
The initial conception I had when commencing this leadership 
role was it is going to take at least 5 years to truly have the 
sense that the new centre is established. Highfields Early 
Learning Centre opened on 25th February 2008 which was the 
first day of an amazing learning journey to date. The people 
that you meet and stories of experiences that are shared is 
what contributes to creating those unique experiences and 
learning opportunities for all and enable you to be all you can 
be.
So, from my personal experience I would recommend to all to 
enjoy every moment with the people, both big and small, 
around you as this is what I believe creates those memorable 
moments and we all know how precious time is.
Yes, it is nice to have an abundance of toys and resources, 
however, in reality the cherished memories children will form are 
the interactions and experiences they share with those who are 
attuned to them. Whether it is a new song, planting a seed, 
making a construction from recycled materials or quickly racing 
down the hallway at the end of the day to see 'Miss Nicole' for a 
smiley face drawing. These experiences all create the sense of 
security and welcoming atmosphere.
Honestly, creating this unique environment is at times a challenge 
and we never know exactly what each day is going to bring, but, 
one thing you can be assured of is when you are surrounded by a 
supportive team and a Community orientated culture 'life long 
learning' thrives and begins for young children.
Recently, I came across a great movie which also emphasis this 
Community culture and importance of the people you spend your 
valuable time with and the link to being 
happy...http://www.thehappymovie.com/
