We believe....
We believe that children deserve to be surrounded with beauty, softness and comfort as well as order and attention to health and safety. Your child will be offered interesting materials, ample time and opportunities to investigate, transform and invent!
At this age, children have active bodies and a desire for adventure. Our educators will provoke wonder, curiosity and intellectual engagement. Your child will have the opportunity to engage in symbolic representation, literacy and the visual arts.
We want your child to connect to the natural world. Children are transfixed by looking at, smelling, touching and tasting, moving and rearranging things. These experiences are vital to young children. As they absorb the rich sensory information around them, their brain pathways are making connections that will be the foundation for a lifetime of experience and learning.
Our educators respect every child’s competence, potential and ability to learn and will create opportunities for active, hands-on learning in an experimentally rich setting.
In our 2–3 year-old group, relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
This age is full of big feelings, new skills and rapid discovery, and our educators create a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, understood and valued. We take the time to build genuine connections, offering comfort, encouragement and consistent routines that help little ones grow with confidence.
Kindness is woven into our daily rhythms.
Through gentle modelling, shared play and simple acts of care, children learn how to treat others with empathy and respect. We support them as they begin to use words for their needs, navigate turn-taking and recognise emotions in themselves and others. Every moment—whether it’s helping a friend, celebrating small achievements or learning to say “please” and “thank you”—is an opportunity to practise kindness.
Our room is a small, thriving community where children learn to belong
We foster a sense of togetherness through group songs, shared mealtimes, collaborative play and celebration of each child’s unique strengths. Children discover that they are important members of a group—capable of contributing, participating and being heard. These early experiences of belonging lay the foundation for strong social and emotional wellbeing
We believe that meaningful relationships with families enrich each child’s journey.
Open communication, daily conversations and collaborative goal-setting help us create continuity between home and care. By working together, we ensure every child feels supported and nurtured, surrounded by a community that values their growth. Our 2–3 year-old group is a place where kindness guides us, relationships strengthen us, and children flourish.
