Our Programs

We promote the wonder, delight and intrigue of creativity through imagination in all that we do. We aim to release children to their full potential, where they thirst to participate fully in life, by creating an atmosphere of love, acceptance and fun.

As educators we aim to treat each child with respect and have quality learning interactions with children, not just simply supervising. Our educational approach is play based, featuring inquiry based learning, and co-constructed learning where children and adults shape the learning together. Our focus is to ensure children develop metacognitive competency (learn how to learn).

Our Philosophy
