1
Child-Centric Approach
Our teaching method is child-centered, meaning we view each child as an individual with curiosity about their world. We see children as competent, resourceful, curious, and full of potential. They are imaginative, inventive, and are naturally inclined to communicate and interact with others. We trust their capacity to lead their learning journey, recognizing their inherent capability to absorb knowledge from everything surrounding them.

Respect, Trust, and Responsibility
Our approach embodies respect, trust, and responsibility. We empower children to have some control over the direction of their learning, instilling a sense of responsibility from an early age. This trust in their abilities allows them to grow into competent learners and respectful individuals.

The Environment as a 'Third Teacher'
In line with the Reggio Emilia approach, we view the environment as a crucial part of learning, often referred to as the 'third teacher'. Our spaces are designed to be inviting, beautiful, and reflective of children's learning. We teach children to respect and care for our shared spaces and resources, fostering a sense of responsibility and community.

Community and Parental Involvement
We believe that learning is a shared journey, where children, teachers, and parents are all active contributors. We foster open communication and promote active parental involvement, ensuring a supportive community that enhances the learning experience of each child
5
Expressive Arts and Creativity
Creativity is at the heart of our teaching method. We incorporate project-based learning and encourage children to use various forms of expression like language, art, drama, and music. These creative outlets allow children to explore their world, express themselves, and learn in a way that's engaging and fun.
6
Documentation of Learning
We value each child's learning journey and document their thoughts, ideas, and progression of thinking. This documentation, made visible through photographs, transcripts of children’s thoughts, and visual representations, allows us to observe and support each child's unique learning journey.
At our daycare, we tailor the Reggio Emilia approach to fit the specific needs and circumstances of our children, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience for each and every one.
