Philosophy

We believe….
We believe that children are capable, enthusiastic learners with natural curiosity who each learn at their own pace and in an individual learning style.
We seek….

Experiences are first-hand and child interest-based and celebrate each child’s ability to make choices and decisions about their own learning scaffolded by Intentional teaching.
We value….
We value the rich opportunities for learning in both the indoor and outdoor learning environments, in planned and spontaneous experiences and through natural, recycled and open ended materials.
We collaborate….
We collaborate with children, families and community to identify strengths and interests and plan and foster opportunities for children to investigate, create, predict, reflect and discover.
We support….
We support our children to grow in independence and to connect with others, to explore new ideas and the perspectives of others, to develop their imaginations and to celebrate their achievements.
We embrace….
We embrace learning as a social experience and nurture collaborative and respectful partnerships between children, educators, families and the wider community.
We honour….
We honour and embrace diversity of experience, ability, family and culture. Our goal is that all will feel respected, included and valued.
We Believe….
We believe that by fostering awareness and respect for the beauty and wonder of the natural world around us we are laying down the foundations for caring for our earth and each other, now and into the future.
