Our environments

Spaces that invite children in

Our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and connection. With a wide range of age-appropriate resources, open-ended materials and natural elements, children are encouraged to explore, experiment and learn through play. Inspired by Reggio Emilia, we see the environment as an important part of the learning experience — offering spaces where children can move between indoor and outdoor play, follow their interests and make discoveries at their own pace.

Inside our centres

From the Nursery Studio through Toddlers, Junior Kindy, Senior Kindy and Kindergarten, each studio is set up for what children at that age are working on.
