KIDZ DALE PLAY SCHOOL

We believe early childhood is an amazing time of global developmental growth that we have the privilege of nurturing children through this journey in partnership with their families. We believe our enquiry-based curriculum embraces intentional teaching, spontaneous learning, and critical reflection that aim to ignite children’s curiosity and confidence to try new tasks and extend on their existing knowledge and skills, promoting their lifelong love of learning and fostering their creativity. We are not just focusing on preparing children for school but all of what they can become. We believe play is the best forum to orchestrate growth in early childhood as it supports a child’s being and shapes the structural design of the brain and makes learning enjoyable. We incorporate all key learning areas into our program in ways that is relevant and meaningful to individual children and the social context of the group. We value extending learning projects in small groups according to their interests. When programming educators consider their knowledge of the children including their strengths and capabilities, and shared information from working in partnerships with families. All of these elements guide programming decisions when integrating learning across the five learning outcomes.
