About the Centre/Service Perry Street Child Care Centre and Elizabeth Gorman Memorial Kindergarten Inc is a 50 place, Community based, not-for-profit early childhood education centre with an integrated three- and four-year-old funded kindergarten program. The Perry Street Philosophy is used as a guide for decision making, as a mirror reflecting our values, and as a celebration of the strengths of children. The current Philosophy consists of three parts; a Statement of Vision, Statement of Principles and Statement of Action. In combination, these are the foundation to a method for which our community strive to create each day. As children are central to what we do, voices from our kindergarten children are woven throughout our Philosophy, highlighted in italics. A full copy of our Philosophy can be found on the website.
