I- Individual personalities. Each Educator and child is unique with their own individual patterns, strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, family backgrounds, beliefs & attitudes. All these differences should be valued and respected. We will ensure children feel included and accepted into our service as our Centre family.

L- Learning through play and having fun. We want to allow children time to develop their own sense of autonomy & independence. We believe in the importance of supporting children to explore experiment, discover and be creative as they grow. Through supporting children's ideas, we are creating a learning environment where children feel like they belong. They learn to appreciate the friendships /partnerships they form, & moments they share. This helps to form the foundations of their own unique identity.

We as a service will continue ways to become more sustainable.
