What we believe
- Parents and families are central to a child’s wellbeing.
- A relationship with a Key Person is essential to young children’s wellbeing.
- Caring adults count more than resources and equipment.
- Schedules and routines must grow with each child’s needs.
- Learning is shared and works best when children are actively involved and interested.
- Children learn through appropriate responsibility, choices, decisions and mistakes.
- Children learn by doing rather than being told.
- Children grow independent when they have someone dependable beside them.
