Our Curriculum
We believe children learn though play which is why our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, the National Quality Standards and the Reggio Emilia educational program.
We pride ourselves on following the children’s interest to maximize their learning experience. Our educators are tuned in to the children’s abilities and make opportunities to further extend and challenge their capabilities. We believe in reflective practice and take time each day to reflect on the children’s learning. Families play a pivotal role in their child’s education and we seek to work alongside families by providing many ways they can participate throughout our curriculum.
Our four rooms are called ateliers because they are places of imagination and exploration. Each is named after an inspirational figure and reflects our belief that we can learn from the legends that have gone before us. We’ve taken attributes of great learners and used them to build our values across the centre to help each child develop their love of learning and discovery.
