Our Philosophy
We strongly believe in the value of learning through play in warm, beautiful home like spaces. Our play based curriculum encourages children to explore nature, discover and use their imagination alongside purposeful activities. We believe in holistic practices, slow paced days and unrushed routines that allow children to grow and develop at their own pace and stage of development in a fun and calm setting.
