Life Skills: this focus helps children develop routines, self-help and independence skills that they will use throughout their early years, through their school years and beyond.
Emergent Learning: this focus helps children learn and incorporate math, science, reading, writing, art and helps them use areas of interest to expand their knowledge and skill base.
Attitude & Behaviour: is one of the most crucial and important areas of learning and, if mastered in their early years, will be a goldmine of wealth as they grow and interact with groups of other children. This focuses on the social behaviour of taking turns, negotiations, and waiting their turn as well as attitudes of trying again, being a good sport and having a positive outlook on life.
Respect: respect is singled out from our attitudes and behaviours because it is a skill that is significant in all areas of life. Children learn early on what respect looks like and how to respect others. This then fosters feelings of empathy and kindness towards themselves and others, a skill that is proven to be one of the most influential building blocks in success in academics and life.
Natural Environment: as humans, we are naturally attracted to and grounded by (known as the bio philia effect) a natural environment. Our furniture has been locally sourced from Victoria with trees from the island to minimize our carbon footprint. Our playground, which is in design mode, is being developed with all natural materials and experiences for the children.
