What our parents say

Our Education & Care Philosophy

...is based upon the following set of principles:

  • Children must have some control over the direction of their learning;
  • Children must be able to learn through moving and experiencing through their senses;
  • Children have a relationship with other children, adults and material items and their environment that children must be allowed to explore; and
  • Children must have endless ways and opportunities to express themselves (there is no one correct way).
