At Harmony, the safety, wellbeing and dignity of every child in our care is our highest priority.
Child safety isn’t just a policy. It’s part of our identity. From the way our spaces are designed to the way our people are trained, we embed safety into every moment of the day. Families trust us because we take our role seriously, act with transparency and lead with care.
Our Approach to Child Safety and Emotional Wellbeing
At Harmony, children’s safety, wellbeing and emotional security are never negotiable. They are the foundation of everything we do.
We are deeply committed to creating environments where every child feels safe, respected, understood and supported to thrive. Our approach to behaviour guidance is intentional, evidence‑informed and grounded in a strong understanding of child development, emotional regulation and respectful relationships.
We believe children learn best when they feel emotionally safe. Behaviour is not something to be controlled, but understood and guided with care, consistency and professionalism.
At Harmony, you can expect that:
At Harmony, our commitment to child safety and wellbeing is strengthened by Megan, our dedicated Child Safety & Wellbeing Advocate.
Megan is passionate about ensuring every child feels safe, heard, respected and supported to thrive. Working across all Harmony centres, she champions child safety, emotional wellbeing, inclusion and positive behaviour guidance, helping to ensure these principles are embedded in everyday practice.
Through supporting educators and leaders, strengthening professional practice and developing evidence-informed frameworks and resources, Megan works to build environments where children feel secure, develop a strong sense of belonging and are supported to reach their full potential.
With a strong belief in the lifelong impact of early childhood experiences, Megan takes a strengths-based, child-centred approach to understanding children’s behaviour, development and individual needs. She is committed to building educator confidence and capability, while ensuring children’s voices, rights and emotional wellbeing remain at the centre of decision-making.
For Megan, child safety is about more than policies and procedures. It is about fostering a culture where children feel safe to speak up, families feel confident in the care their children receive, and every educator understands their responsibility to protect and nurture the children in their care.
Through Megan’s dedicated leadership, Harmony continues to strengthen its commitment to creating child-safe environments where every child is valued, every voice matters and every child has the opportunity to flourish.
Our Commitment to Emotional Safety
Emotional safety is just as important to us as physical safety.
We are committed to creating environments where children:
This commitment is actively protected through strong leadership oversight across all Harmony centres.
We believe the strongest outcomes for children come from genuine partnerships with families.
When behaviour‑related concerns arise, we are committed to:
Every educator at Harmony is responsible for upholding emotionally safe, respectful practice.
Our leadership team provides ongoing training, coaching and oversight to ensure behaviour guidance practices are consistent, professional and aligned across all centres. Expectations are clear, support is provided, and accountability is maintained.
This is not optional. It is a shared responsibility and a core standard of care at Harmony.
Your child’s safety, wellbeing and sense of belonging will always come first.
Our teams are trained to recognise and respond to any concerns, and we follow clear, immediate reporting pathways without exception.
Each service is supported by an active leadership team who are present in studios, oversee supervision and ensure high standards are upheld throughout the day.
Children, educators and families are encouraged to speak openly. We foster a culture of trust, where concerns can be shared and responded to with care and respect.
All educators complete comprehensive child protection training before starting. Annual refreshers and partnerships with Bravehearts support our team and the children in their care.
Children are never left alone with a single educator. We work in teams to ensure supervision is visible, consistent and accountable.
Our centres are built with open sightlines, glass doors and discreet viewing panels to support safe supervision. CCTV operates in key areas to assist leadership oversight.
We carefully screen every person who works at Harmony. We verify qualifications, check references, confirm Working with Children Checks and deliver full induction training before any educator begins.
All staff and visitors follow our Code of Conduct, which sets the tone for respectful, safe and professional behaviour across our services.
All educators are supported to follow clear boundaries and transparent practices, including additional safeguards for one on one care and intimate hygiene routines.
We work in partnership with families, communicating openly, sharing updates and welcoming conversations about how we can best support each child.
We don’t just talk about safety—we live it. Through strong leadership, trusted relationships, and deeply embedded systems, Harmony centres are places where children are safe, seen and supported.
