PHILOSOPHY

Child-centered and Inquiry-led Perspective

Children deserve to be listened to and encouraged to pose their own questions. This enables them to work through solving problems and challenges them to engage in reflection as they develop their own ideas. We celebrate the unique proclivities and the integrity of each child! Honing the strengths of children supports positive self-awareness as they grow. Our program aims to teach children to appreciate their own abilities, knowledge, experience, and feelings and, in turn, come to appreciate the abilities, knowledge and experience of others.
