“Children’s learning is ongoing and each child will progress towards outcomes in different and equally meaningful ways. Learning is not always predictable and linear. Educators plan with each individual child and the outcomes in mind” (Early Years Learning Framework)

The key to planning and implementing an effective curriculum is to know each child’s individual strengths, weaknesses and interest.

Our Educators take a holistic approach to teaching and learning, appreciating each child’s physical, personal, social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing as well as their cognitive aspects of learning.

Our educators will plan deliberate, purposeful and meaningful play spaces that allows all children to build on their existing knowledge and enhance further learning.

Play spaces provide opportunities for children to learn, discover, investigate, imagine and create.

When children play with other children, they are developing their social skills, challenging each other’s thinking and building new understandings.

Play provokes questioning, problem solving and critical thinking.
