OUR PHILOSOPHY

A suite of Eight guiding principles have been established to both guide and serve as a benchmark for delivering world class early childhood education consistently across our pre-school settings. These guiding principles are known as the Eight Big Ideas of our Philosophy:

• We are committed to the pedagogy of listening

• Play is the central mode of learning for young children

• We acknowledge children as sophisticated thinkers and communicators

• We have accountability to children, parents, management and community

• We create alliances with parents

• Our program has intellectual and pedagogical integrity

• We focus on seeing children within a socio-cultural context

• Teachers as researchers
