Our Philosophy

Childhood is a time of play - through play that children acquire important life skills and begin to experiment with their role in society​​.

 

Planned and spontaneous daily activities and play experiences allow children to explore, ask and answer questions, solve problems, and offer a variety of social opportunities​.

 

It is our responsibility to build each child’s foundation of inner strength and self confidence, and to help them develop meaningful relationships.

​

Curriculum should be in constant revision, to reflect the children’s changing developmental abilities, ideas, and interests

​

Parents and child care staff should work together in a trusting partnership. Ongoing knowledge sharing ensures consistency in care, and is very beneficial to a child’s learning

​

The classroom must be stimulating, and always evolving, with multiple learning opportunities. The classroom should reflect that children have a sense of belonging in the space, using it to learn, experiment, and be engage in their interests

​

 Early Childhood Educators must be patient, kind, responsive and caring. As teachers of young learners, they must be eager lifelong learners too
