Philosophy

"Its all about balance" Young or old there are things we can learn about ourselves and our world every day.

Young or old we need to make time to stop and smell and roses and have fun along the way.

The key in our philosophy is Balance

Quality

A quality early childhood education isn't one thing.

It's a high ratio of qualified and passionate staff, it's good group sizes,  a robust teacher guidance programme, quality interactions and trust, teachers who respond effectively to children's individual needs and interests, personal and dedicated attention for all children, a low teacher turnover and consistency of care, a well planned, well cared for and maintained environment.
