Education and Care with Impact

We are thrilled to be introducing Our Patch to your school community. Our Patch is a fresh provider in the education and care space, which has been meticulously designed from the ground up by Rosa Piteri and Daniel Mundy. It spouted from a dream to create entirely unique spaces that gives children voice and offers them a safe place of wonder in which to GROW.

Rosa’s unparalleled experience across 25 years in childcare, in every sector and hundreds of schools all around Australia, grounded Our Patch and informed its design. Working diligently alongside Rosa has been anzuk Education founder and CEO, Daniel, who brought his extensive knowledge and skills to the project, as well as a partnership with anzuk – which has been a well-respected, reliable and leading education staffing service provider in Australia, New Zealand, UK and America, for more than 17 years.

Our Patch was seeded in programs that provide children with endless opportunities to build confidence and resilience. It is our aim to grow and develop grounded and respectful children, brimming with confidence, who are true to themselves, and have a keen commitment to each other and shared community values. Our vision is that all children will want to come to Our Patch and experience a true sense of ownership, because they love being in a space specifically designed for them – not because it is the only choice they have. Making an impact every step of the way.

As part of our commitment, Our Patch is undertaking Safeguarding Children Accreditation in partnership with the Australian Childhood Foundation to develop best practice policies and embed effective child protection procedures throughout our organisation.

Our Patch has zero-tolerance towards any form of abuse and neglect of children. We are committed to the rights of all children to feel and be safe when participating in our programs.

Children’s voice is central to safeguarding practices. We empower children in our programs by providing them with our Safeguarding Statement in child friendly language, informing them of their rights and responsibilities and discuss safeguarding children in ways that are appropriate for each child’s age, diversity, abilities and developmental stage.
