The extensive grounds will additionally allow the children to do lots of physical activities and be aware of all the natural surroundings.
Social development is important in the children's house. There is an emphasis on mixed age grouping within the setting.
Individual learning is promoted within the school environment and the school recognises that each child learns at a different pace and promotes this. There is an emphasis on concrete learning where the children experience concepts in concrete ‘hands on’ ways. The children are allowed the freedom to choose their activities and for the joy of working with these, which in turn lets them enjoy a sense of discovery. The children absorb information at an incredible rate and enjoy learning new tasks. The school encourages every child to follow their interests.
