At Nurtured Beginnings, they believe in providing opportunities for learning to be child-centric and play-based, taking reference from the Early Years Learning Framework of “Belonging, Being, Becoming,” but also incorporating the teaching methods and theories of early childhood practitioners such as Friedrich Froebel, Emmi Pikler, Loris Malaguzzi (founder of the Reggio Emilia, John Bowlby as well as the Circle of Security.
Their foundations are built on the understanding that children learn through play. They facilitate enriching hands-on experiences and social interactions with both peers and educators to support their development in becoming valued and confident young people.
Nurtured Beginnings place a strong emphasis on physical development and outdoor play. The natural environment is an important part of their philosophy and they encourage children to spend as much time enjoying their purpose-built space and fresh air.
They believe that nurturing and caring environments are pivotal in the educational program that they offer, and this enables children to feel confident in their surroundings and achieve the 5 learning outcomes of the EYLF.
