The environment we create throughout the centre is intended to be interactive for the children and almost like another teacher. Careful planning of the environment produces order and rhythm. This in turn supports elements that foster a delight, joy and passion for learning. We see these critical elements as including aesthetic awareness, a sense of order, detail, an element of surprise and discovery, colours that compliment, rather than dominate, beauty and richness.
May we greet each other with a smile, hug and speak kind words.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

Many different elements and concepts – light, space, texture, colour, objects and equipment, the living and inanimate – come together in a harmonious space.
It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
Curriculum should help children make deeper and fuller understanding of their own experience.
— Lilian Katz
Childhood is filled with natural wonder & curiosity. The learning environment must reflect a classroom & outdoor space that inspires a sense of wanting to investigate, to find out and to explore.

We all eat and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly.

One should take children’s philosophy to heart.
They never despise a bubble because it burst; they immediately set to work to blow another one.
