Parenting & Child Development

Every child deserves the best possible start in life
-- and your support to meet their full potential.

During this busy time, your small person is learning a language, developing imagination and growing in independence. It is the time for fun, learning, playing, wonder and growth.

A secure & happy childhood

A secure and happy childhood is important in creating the firm foundation your child needs to develop in all aspects of their lives.

An enabling environment

As a parent you strive to provide an enabling environment, one that will support and extend a child's development and learning and that ensures purposeful play.

Learn in different ways

Realising that children learn in different ways and at different rates will help you to create safe, healthy and educationally rich experiences for your children.
