THE SCHOOL
This centre was established in 1996. They have a strong family orientated atmosphere and a beautiful outdoor area. They have an excellent existing team that works well together creating an extremely friendly working environment. The philosophy, curriculum and teaching practices are inspired primarily by the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Their curriculum emerges primarily from children's interests and questions, and is driven by their natural curiosity to learn through play.
