Confidence |
|
Play-based learning experiences build children’s interests and capabilities. Children become curious explorers and researchers of their world to experiment and problem-solve.

Participation and contribution |
|
Children are encouraged to contribute to their community every day and become participants in their world. This gives children a real sense of ownership and belonging to their community.
|
3. |
Problem-solving |
|
Children are given lots of opportunities to choose and decide how things happen. Children will learn patterns, sequencing, puzzle-solving and reasoning – these are like a gym for their brain!

Language and communication |
|
We foster a language-rich environment with conversation, storytelling and singing. This gives children a voice to be heard and understood – encouraging them to connect and belong.

Emotional regulation |
|
Children begin to understand that action and reaction are linked – they can master self-control and have an impact on what happens.
|
6. |
Relationship building |
|
Children develop meaningful relationships with others and learn how to communicate and play with their peers and educators. They learn about themselves in groups, how to start conversations and understand and collaborate with each other.

Empathy |
|
Children have opportunities to explore and practice empathy with other children. Our educators will design play-based experiences that encourage your child to understand and develop language around empathy.
|

Resilience |

Children are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone, try new things and find ways to overcome challenges by being strong, brave and confident.
