Children from birth are competent, capable and active contributors to their own and others' learning. As educators we acknowledge each young child's:
- uniqueness and complexity
- capacity for self-direction and motivation
- right to attachments and security, as a base for belonging, being and becoming;
- multiple relationships
- abilities to form opinions and their right to express ideas and preferences and
- connection to place.
Our educators extend children's learning opportunities through intentional teaching and work with children in a reciprocal relationship where give and take is part of the mutual obligation of being together.
