THEMES:

A Unique Child

Positive Relationships

Enabling Environments

Learning and Development
 

PRINCIPLES

Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person. The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.
Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.
