Community Opportunities: Educators provide regular opportunities for children to explore the world through PlayGroup, Gym, Mainly Music, Parks and local events. 

Homebased Education: Educators create wonderful plans and ideas to educate and create with your child in a real world setting, with nature & science, puzzles & games, creative arts, sand & water play, trips, transition to school programme, child friendships and more!

'My Journal' describes each day: Your child will receive their own personalised journal that the Educator will fill in every day with stories, activities and achievements.

Our Educators carefully plan day-to-day activities and learning experiences that fulfil the early childhood curriculum. They aim to ensure children are competent, confident and successful learners. Children will learn and develop:

• Reading, writing, maths, art, music and dance skills
• Social skills, behaviour management and manners
• Self confidence
• Learning skills such as independence, creativity and curiosity
• Friendships
• Relationships with consistent, familiar Educators

We would love to have you become an educator.
