Play is the highest form of research
Our overarching Pedagogy
We believe that learning is a natural process of exploration in which our children expand their emotional, social and academic capacities. By allowing children space to explore feelings, we know that when children feel balanced, they will have greater opportunities to learn and grow.
We believe that we learn through making connections between things, concepts and experiences and that we do so by interacting with each other and our environment. We focus on ‘how to learn’, not just ‘what to learn.’
Our unique learning offerings provide an education that is:
Integrating Learning
