We encourage children to follow their interests, explore, discover, experiment, create, investigate problem solve, develop their independence and sense of self identity, influence their world, think critically, express their ideas and opinions, take and balance risks though play. We believe children have the right to simply be and to learn in a way that suits their development and unique learning style. We believe it is our responsibility to advocate on behalf of children, support families, and educators embracing cultural celebrations and actively engaging in partnerships with community to maintain a sense of belonging, connection to the land and pride in our shared history and cultures
