✝️ Faith in Action: How Christian Values Shape Our Learning Environment

At Surrey Hills Baptist Early Learning Centre, faith isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live, breathe, and gently weave into the daily rhythms of our centre.

We believe children are spiritual beings, full of wonder and purpose. Through prayer, storytelling, and moments of quiet reflection, we nurture the development of values like kindness, empathy, forgiveness, and gratitude. These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re lived out in the sandpit, at lunchtime, and during every group time when we sing songs of hope and joy.

Our educators are intentional about modelling Christian principles in ways children can understand. Whether it’s through inclusive play, gentle conflict resolution, or talking about love in action, we create a learning space that’s safe, supportive, and deeply respectful of each child’s journey.

Families often share with us the peace they feel knowing their little ones are growing in a place grounded in faith. It’s more than education—it’s spiritual formation, too.

At SHBELC, our Christian ethos is the heartbeat of everything we do. And while we’re rooted in Baptist tradition, we warmly welcome families of all backgrounds and beliefs. Because love and learning go hand in hand—and every child deserves to be embraced with both.
