Our Philosophy
The Little Nook Way…
- We believe that each child is unique, and that all children have the right to reach their full potential. As educators we have a responsibility to enable each child to develop and learn through encouragement, respect and support in a caring and safe environment.
- We believe that a child’s environment is an important part of learning, and for children to learn, they need to feel safe and secure with freedom of choice to work in a child-centred environment.
- We recognise and provide an environment in which the children can flourish and grow with self-esteem. We apply methods of learning which involve joy in learning, love of order, the need to be independent, the need to be respected and the need to be listened to.
- We believe that children should be able to grow in knowledge through a creative learning framework that aims to meet the educational, developmental and emotional needs of each child.
- We believe it is essential for children to use their imagination, to be curious, to be creative and to experience fun.
