Quality Childcare - closer to home
We provide best practice in early childhood education for the benefit of the child, the family and our community
The image of the child
The child affects the decisions we take every day. The child’s motivation and capability impact our decisions to help development
Enriching their experiences
The wider the range of alternatives we offer, the more intense the child’s emotions and the richer its experiences are – Reggio Emilia Approach
Play is our job
When we treat play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that is found in their creative spirit – Fred Rogers
Our job is to create contexts
Children are naturally creative. It is our job to give them the freedom, materials and space to let their creativity blossom to its full potential – Jean Van’t Hul
This is how I learn!
There is no just thing as “just playing”… This is how I learn.
I love my carer
Children learn best when they like their carer and their carer likes them. We are in the business of loving kids so much that they want to learn from us – Gordon Neufeld
When I play
Play is creativity, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun – Mary Lou Cook
We don’t do it
We never help children with a task at which she feels she can succeed – Maria Montessori
It’s a risky business
The more risks we allow our children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves – Roald Dahl
It’s all about fun
There is no right or wrong when it comes to making art. Making sure that the child has fun is the most important part. Splash a little paint… draw a little line… just make sure we have fun – each time and every time!
Who is your child?
Your child is creative, curious, flexible, persistent and independent… with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play – Henri Matisse
My scribble…
My scribble is not a scribble! It is a story, a name, a word, a masterpiece!
Reggio Emilia approach
Our approach is inspired by that of the ‘Reggio Emilia’. This world-famous model sees the child as an individual with its own individual development that can be unleased only by understanding the process and presenting contexts in front of the child by means of the ‘100 languages’ in which the child already communicates with and thus aiding it to develop holistically and towards its full potential.
Celebrating diversity
We value and celebrate diversity in our colleagues, families and children. We bring to our centres a strong sense of community that creates respect and care. We are committed to help children feel good about themselves and others, making each one of us, a unique individual.
Meaningful and complete
Our programme aims at nurturing and enriching the development of children of all abilities through appropriate early learning experiences owned by the same children. The activities (that are a result of observing the children) seek to ensure achievement for all children and provide a sound holistic foundation for their physical, social, cognitive and emotional development
