The opportunities for play and learning need to occur in an environment that fosters in children a deep sense of trust, acceptance and respect of self and others. We provide an environment where every child is safe, accepted as a unique individual, learning at his/her pace, whose emotional, social, physical, mental and spiritual needs will be provided for.
“In order to act as an educator for the child, the environment has to be flexible: It must undergo frequent modification by the children and the teachers in order to remain up to date and responsive to their need to be protagonists in constructing their knowledge. All the things that surround people in the school and which they can use — the objects, the materials, and the structures — are not seen as passive elements, but on the contrary, are seen as elements that condition and are conditioned by the actions of the children and adults who are active in it.” - Edwards, Gandini, and Foreman.”
