Our Philosophy
Children are naturally curious about the world around them. At Waldorf Little Learners, we understand the powerful impact that play has on a child’s cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. We place great emphasis on providing opportunities for our little ones to explore, experiment, imagine and discover in a natural and enriching environment so that our children can grow to become empathetic, creative, and capable individuals with an appetite for lifelong learning.
Our Environment
We believe in providing a natural environment.
Our centre provides natural and creative spaces to spark curiosity. Our large open outdoor spaces provide opportunities for our children to run, explore, adventure, climb, and imagine, and cultivates a strong appreciation for our natural environment. Our indoor spaces provide opportunities for creative, self-directed play to unlock initiative, flexibility and form the basis for innovative thought in adult life.
We are committed to ensuring our natural world is supported with non-toxic materials, hand soaps and cleaning products to create a hygienic space that also protects the health and wellbeing of our children.
Our centre is eco-friendly and deeply passionate about providing materials that are made from nature such as wood, paper, leaves, flowers, rocks, and felt, or otherwise sourced through recycled or second-hand means to minimise our impact on the Earth.
Our Approach
At Waldorf Little Learners, we are passionate and dedicated to ensuring your children are well supported and nurtured throughout their early years. We adopt a contemporary approach to a Waldorf-inspired education, recognised for providing a sound and practical basis for working with children, enabling them to find their creativity and to become free individuals who can think for themselves, make their own judgements, and find their own purpose and direction in life. We take great care in planning and setting up our environments in each room to ensure that your children’s physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs are considered.
