🟥 OUR LEARNING PHILOSOPHY
We follow the national ELDAs to support the whole child — emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually. Our environment is structured, intentional, and designed for meaningful play.
🟦 THE 6 CORE ELDAs
🟩 1. WELL‑BEING
Children build independence, emotional security, and healthy habits through daily routines and caring relationships.
🟪 2. IDENTITY & BELONGING
We help children develop confidence, self‑awareness, and a strong sense of belonging in their school community.
🟧 3. COMMUNICATION
Through stories, conversation, and early literacy, children learn to express themselves with clarity and confidence.
🟦 4. EXPLORING MATHEMATICS
Maths is introduced through hands‑on exploration — patterns, shapes, counting, sorting, and problem‑solving.
🟨 5. CREATIVITY
Art, music, movement, and imaginative play allow children to express ideas, emotions, and individuality.
🟫 6. KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD
Children explore nature, science, weather, animals, and their environment through real‑world discovery.
