Raha's Early Years Philosophy

Do you know about our philosophy in the Early Years?

THE LEARNER

We see every child as capable, inquisitive and creative with the right to be nurtured in a safe, supportive environment.    

THE TEACHING AND LEARNING 

Our practice is informed by research which supports our belief that young children learn through investigation, exploration and play in a social context, where they have a sense of agency.    

We view teachers as facilitators in our children’s learning journey. We guide learning through a pedagogy of observing and listening.  

Our learning spaces reflect our belief that aesthetically engaging, carefully planned and purposeful environments significantly enhance the quality of learning experiences.    

THE LEARNING COMMUNITY

We value the culture and diversity of our learning community.    

We see relationships and connections to be central to learning.  There is a shared commitment to maintaining respect, open dialogue and collaboration with families.
