Mission & Vision

Our mission is to lead from the front in innovation in Early Childhood Education. To provide holistic, child-centred education focused on fostering children’s creativity in a nurturing environment rich in authentic, play-based resources. We identify the need to slow down; for mindful practices and the appreciation of the natural world in it’s simplest form. Our mission is to provide such childcare experiences that embrace children’s natural desires to play and explore in a natural and inclusive environment protected from the hurried life beyond our beautiful setting. Our mission is to bring the extended families of our children along on our journey so, together, we can make a significantly positive start to the lives of our little people.

Our vision is to create a calm and stress-free environment for children; to put our trust in children to take risks and try new challenges. We want to bring back their freedom to play and learn by igniting their natural curiosity and imagination. We aspire to create a safe space that provides children with endless opportunities to think and do for themselves; to explore and discover through their sense of wonder and awe. We want to slow down and breathe – to appreciate our natural world, to be mindful of the simple things in life that bring the most joy and to practice love and respect for each other.
