PRINCE ALFRED COLLEGE EARLY LEARNING CENTRE

An environment designed to foster creativity, provoke questions, provide challenges and celebrate the achievements of young children. We foster the development of integrity, curiosity, confidence, compassion and Christian principles.We encourage relationships of shared responsibility and mutual respect. We believe in fun and the joy and importance of childhood. We ensure an environment filled with a sense of humour, love of play and exploration, and a sense of community.

A big thank you to Miss Sue and Miss Robina for making a special Christmas lunch for all the Centre. We do appreciate your amazing work and delicious cooking! Thank you so much!

100 Languages - Loris Malaguzzi

The child has

a hundred languages

a hundred hands

a hundred thoughts

a hundred ways of thinking

of playing, of speaking.

A hundred, always a hundred

ways of listening

of marvelling, of loving

a hundred joys

for signing and understanding

a hundred worlds to discover

a hundred worlds

to invent

a hundred worlds

to dream.

The child has a hundred languages

(and a hundred hundred hundred more)

but they steal ninety nine.

The school and the culture

separate the head from the body.

They tell the child:

to think without head

to listen and to not speak

to understand without joy

to love and to marvel only

at Easter and Christmas.

They tell the child:

to discover the world already there

and of the hundred

they steal ninety nine.

They tell the child:

that to work and play

reality and fantasy

science and imagination

sky and earth

reason and dream

are things that do not belong together.

And thus they tell the child

that the hundred is not there.

The child says:

No way. The Hundred is there.
