Philosophy

It is known that children gather information and process it through play as they practice old skills and learn new ones. Outdoor play is a fundamental part of our program, as all areas of a child's learning and development are enhanced by it.

A typical day

The children will enjoy both self-guided and teacher-led activities including painting, ceramics, print-making, cooking and various other hands-on learning projects. On a typical day you may find us birdwatching, drawing with sticks in the dirt, catching insects, following tracks, singing and storytelling or making mud pies.
