“The word ‘education’ comes from the Latin ‘educere’ = e- (out of) + -ducere (to draw). Education is not just about putting information in. We have forgotten that it, in fact, begins in the child’s heart.”
— Vince Gowman
Our Approach to Learning
Here at Nurtured Beginnings we 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.
We believe that nurturing and caring environments are pivotal in the educational program that we offer, and this enables children to feel confident in their surroundings and achieve the 5 learning outcomes of the EYLF.
Children have a strong sense of identity.
Children are connected with and contribute to their world.
Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.
Children are confident and involved learners.
Children are effective communicators.
