We will care for young children in a beautiful, safe and organic environment. We will provide consistent daily, weekly and seasonal rhythms for the children to rely upon and develop within. Through this the children can run, play, rest and explore as positive educational foundations are laid for their future.
This exceptional care that meets the changing needs of the developing child will be provided by our professional and dynamic team committed to receiving the children in reverence, educating them with love, and letting them go forth in freedom? (Rudolf Steiner).
We hold to the following:
?Beauty Children are encouraged to find beauty and wonder in the world through a variety of exploration and play activities. Beautiful classrooms and gardens allow them to experience the joys & mysteries of childhood.
?Colour used appropriately allows young imaginations to flow, thus pastel rainbow colours promote a gentle, tranquil feeling life.
?Food provided is biodynamic or organic. A warm and friendly home-like environment is created by preparing food with the children.
?Imitation is the way of the child, 0-7yr. Our educators are mindful of all that is presented to the children in our care. In imitative play, we learn the early skills of all the professions, trades, arts, physical and social sciences.
?Nurture Each child receives individual care within a group setting which supports and enriches their family life, as well as assisting the child to develop their unique potential.
?Play is the foundation upon which our educators build. Creative self-directed play is essential for developing fine & gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, interpersonal relationships, imagination, confidence & self-esteem.
?Rhythm & routines develop childrens trust and security as they eagerly anticipate what is coming next. Daily, weekly and seasonal rhythms allow children to fully experience the activities.
?Warmth is vital in childrens surroundings.
