At Tall Tree we focus on a child-led explorative program, allowing each child to learn with creativity and form true connection.
Tall Tree Outside School Care operates from Rosalie Primary School. Places are available and enrolments are now open for students attending Rosalie Primary School, as well as other schools in the local community. Our Before and After School programs are designed to not only enrich the learning and lives of our Tall Tree children but to support you, their family, in providing loving care and creating a harmonious work week.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia, our philosophy allows the natural skills and interests of each child to come to the fore and design the direction of our learning experiences. Our children love to spend time exploring the outdoors and learning about the natural world around them.
Whether you need Before School or After School care, we provide nutritious meals, learning support and a safe place for your children, so you can focus on getting yourself to work and having a productive day. Our Before and After School programs work to the My Time, Our Place framework for the School Aged Education and Care industry.
Whether you need care in the school holidays or just want your child to be fully entertained, our Vacation Care programs are packed full of exploration, excursions, incursions and more. Everything is designed with lifelong friendships and lasting memories in mind. We provide breakfast, morning tea, a hot lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack, giving you a break from preparing lunches.
The Reggio Emilia Philosophy is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education, which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge. The Philosophy rides on the coattails of the innate curiosity of children and aims to assist them with understanding their world and who they are in it.
The Child - The Reggio Emilia philosophy values the child as central to their own learning, not simply an empty vessel waiting to be filled with knowledge. Children are able to pursue their own interests and revisit and build upon ideas at their own pace. You may have heard of something called the ‘100 languages of children’. This concept recognises that children have multiple ways of thinking, playing, exploring, speaking and doing. The Reggio Emilia approach encourages children to use every tool they have to express themselves.
The Environment - A Reggio-inspired environment, often referred to as ‘the third teacher’, is one that is open and free-flowing. It enables uninterrupted exploration, play and learning. Outdoor spaces are valued just as highly as formal classrooms, and the design of the space should allow children to move freely between the two. In addition, it is important that children have free access to stimulating resources, as they cannot be the owner of their learning journey without this.
The Teacher - Teachers are encouraged to observe children rather than to direct them. It is important that children are allowed to experiment in their own way, make mistakes and find new solutions. The role of the teacher is to gently move students towards areas of interest to them, and this can only be done through careful observation carried out over time.
With a diverse background that blends creativity, leadership, and a deep passion for education, our Service Manager Brodie Moffat brings a unique perspective to Tall Tree Rosalie. Originally trained as a Graphic Designer, she holds a Certificate IV in School Aged Education and Care and a Certificate II in Business, skills that continue to inspire her imaginative and thoughtful approach to service delivery.
Her journey into the Early Learning sector began unexpectedly in 2016, when she joined a Not-For-Profit Early Learning Centre in a Marketing and Administration role. It was here that she discovered her passion for supporting children, families and educators. In 2020, she transitioned into Out of School Hours Care as a Trainee Educator, working her way up to Service Coordinator and later stepping into the role of Educational Leader and Nominated Supervisor across multiple Fremantle region services.
Inspired by the collaborative values and WA-owned roots of the Tall Tree and Atlantis Group, she joined Rosalie to continue leading with purpose. Her pedagogy is grounded in child-led, open-ended learning, where each day unfolds through exploration, discovery, and the empowerment of children’s agency. Drawing from the Reggio Emilia approach and key developmental theories, she is committed to creating meaningful environments and experiences that nurture early brain development, wellbeing, and a strong sense of belonging.
She believes wholeheartedly in the capabilities of children and delights in the moments that showcase their creativity, curiosity and individuality - from imaginative ideas for the future to the thoughtful treasures they share from the playground. These daily interactions fuel her belief in the importance of fostering confidence and resilience from an early age.
As a leader, she is collaborative, reflective and relationship-driven. Having worked across multiple roles within the sector, she values open communication and strives to be a supportive, approachable Manager who learns alongside her team. Her vision for Tall Tree Rosalie is to strengthen culture, build genuine teamwork and elevate the collective talents of the highly experienced educators within the service.
She recognises that families are a child’s first and most influential teachers and she prioritises strong partnerships to ensure educators understand each child’s unique background and needs. She also deeply values the role of community in early childhood education, drawing on philosophies like Reggio Emilia and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory to guide her approach.
Outside of work, she finds joy in staying active and connected to nature whether running along the coast at Cottesloe, hitting the gym before a busy day, horseriding, or volunteering at WA Wildlife to support injured and orphaned animals.
She is proud to lead a service where children feel valued, families feel welcomed and educators feel supported, shaping a community where meaningful learning and growth can flourish every day.
You start life as a tiny seed, something so small and yet so powerful, something so important to so many. From there, your roots, the foundation from which all will grow, take hold.
The environment in which you grow, must be nourishing, supportive, and provide you with all that you need to flourish from seed, to seedling. A time in which nurturing, and support are imperative, as you understand the environment in which you are planted and begin to make sense of it for yourself.From seedling, to sapling, you begin to settle. To grow stronger, taller, more resilient. A sense of independence and a rapid acquisition of new branches and leaves. But in order to make this monumental leap, you need consistent and reliable input from your environment. Each and every sapling, needs nutrients and protection, in order to thrive and grow from sapling to tree. The aim is forever not to merely survive, but to thrive. To grow tall.
