Wickham Children’s Service
Location: Western Australia
Our Rio Tinto sponsored service is Reggio Emilia inspired and represents our local community.
We have pet rabbits for the children to learn from, construction areas for children to explore, and quiet relaxing areas set up with soft cushions, soft lighting and scents of lavender.
The people of Wickham are very friendly. Everyone stops to say hello and are always there to lend a hand. Wickham is a mining town in the desert. It is known for its ancient landscapes, red earth, and vast mineral deposits.
Our approach
We have adopted practices that are inspired by the work of the Reggio Emilia approach to early education. Our program is based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment.
Our services
We are a 24-place service.
· Our nursery room caters for infants from 0 to 30 months.
· Our kindy room caters for children from 30 months to 5 years.
