At Wanslea Katanning, child safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities. We are proudly accredited by the Australian Childhood Foundation for Safeguarding Children and Young People, a rigorous recognition that sets us apart. Our Safeguarding Accreditation provides affirmation for families, communities, and stakeholders that we uphold the highest standards in keeping children and young people safe, continuously striving for best practice and quality improvement.
We are proud to stand as a leader in early childhood education and care operating for more than 30 years. As a non-for-profit, we are dedicated to putting children and families first, reinvest in our services, offer our educators above-award wages, and continually enhance our learning environments and programs to provide the best possible start for every child.
Our Katanning team includes qualified and experienced educators, including a Qualified Early Childhood Teacher. We pride ourselves on having long-standing educators, with most of our team having worked with Wanslea for numerous years, many for more than eight years. This consistency helps us build strong, trusting and lasting relationships with the children and families in our care.
Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and supports children to learn through play, discovery and exploration. We design engaging programs that reflect each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths.
We integrate KIDDO to support physical literacy and active play, and the Pyramid Model to strengthen social and emotional skills. Our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed to reflect these approaches.
We use Storypark, a secure online platform, to share updates, photos, learning observations, and milestone celebrations with families in real time. We value open communication and strong partnerships with families. Our team works closely with parents and carers to keep them informed and engaged in their child’s learning and development every step of the way.
Wanslea is affiliated with the NDIS, giving our team easy access to a wide range of resources and support services. This enables us to provide valuable guidance to families, connect children with early intervention opportunities when needed, and ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive.
