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!
Safe
We strive towards offering our services in a safe and secure environment. The National Standards for Childcare Services serve as our guidelines in this regard. We are frequently monitored and continuously self-assess so that we truly offer the environment that our children deserve
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
We have what it takes
We understand that you need to feel comfortable with the type and level of care we provide for your most precious. We strongly recommend to come and check our centres out. See how you feel and how your child adapts to the surrounds. Your child or even yourself will get a vibe that will tell you that we have what it takes.
The third teacher
We organise the spaces so that they are rich in possibilities and provocations and that invite the children to explore and solve problems. We do this because we believe that the surroundings serve as a ‘third teacher’ that allows the child to grow
