About the Provider
Each child possesses the natural ability to wonder and the desire to learn about the world that surrounds them. We acknowledge and respect that children have the right to wonder using their unique abilities. We nurture that wonder by providing freedom to explore their environment; listening, observing, researching and facilitating.
Our unique curriculum is based on the Multiple Intelligences Theory which focuses on the concept that each child possesses different talents. Based on the individual talents and interests of each child our teachers develop projects that encourage the development of that ability. Parallel to this process, the teachers introduce strategies to discover and nurture new talents that will contribute to the appropriate development of the child.
