Learning and Teaching

We support children to realise and draw upon the wealth of resources available to them, therefore, supporting their transition to school and establishing a growth mindset.

We believe children thrive in an educational program that honours their individual disposition for learning and builds a strong culture of curiosity, creativity and resourcefulness. Our inquiry-based curriculum embraces intentional teaching, spontaneous learning, and critical reflection. We aim to ignite curiosity and extend on a child’s unique and genuine interests and wonders.

We believe early childhood is a critical time for children to develop a positive self-image of themselves as capable and confident lifelong learners. Our inquiry-based curriculum lays the foundation for children to make sense of future learning concepts in ways that are meaningful and relevant to each unique young mind.

We believe early childhood is a prime time for children to further develop emotional intelligence in a supportive and nurturing social environment. Our school readiness program is intentionally and thoughtfully integrated into our everyday experiences where no child goes unnoticed. In this way, every child is encouraged to develop a love of learning within a social context.

We believe play is the best forum in which to orchestrate growth in early childhood as it shapes the structural design of the brain and makes learning enjoyable. We value learning projects in small groups that extend and foster each child’s interests, where Educators capture and validate individual learning pathways using a range of methods. When programming, Educators consider their knowledge of the children including their strengths and capabilities and shared information from working in partnerships with families, Wyvern and the wider community.
