“Childhood is beautiful. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our image of the child is rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent and, most of all connected to all who share his or her space. We understand that children learn through exploring their world together, discovering and exchanging ideas. Our child-centred approach prizes play-based and project-based learning, embracing their ‘one hundred languages’ to express their understanding, thoughts and creativity. Our goal is that all who enter our gates discover joy, adventure and a love of learning and emerge as socially capable, creative citizens, well-positioned to fly high.”
- Mrs Belinda Willows, Headmistress
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experience.”
- Loris Malaguzzi, founder of Reggio Emilia
