Children
We see children as collaborators in their learning with a focus on building relationships with other children, teachers, and people in their community.
We see children as protagonists being strong, rich, and capable.
Teachers
Our teachers are partners, nurturers, and guides who facilitate children’s exploration of themes, projects, and experiences with open-ended discovery and problem-solving. They learn how to plan and proceed in their work by listening to the children and then providing occasions and opportunities for discovery and learning.
The teacher is a researcher who works among a team of professionals engaged in continuous discussion, facilitation & interpretation of the children’s work.
Parents
The parent is a partner; participation is considered essential and can take many forms, including trust, ideas, skills and communication.
Environment
The environment is the third teacher; the design and use of space should encourage encounters, communication and relationships.
The environment should be beautiful and organised. Every part should have a purpose and be valued and cared for by the children and adults.

Our Programme
We passionately believe in our authentic, child-led, play-based
programme, inspired by the Reggio-Emilia philosophy.
Play-based Learning
Our programme promotes independence, creativity & confidence. By using open-ended play and art experiences, we enable the children to make their own choices and discoveries around learning centers inside and outside of the classroom.
Child-led Learning
We empower children to explore their interests while we document and review their progress together. Given the right space, children naturally collaborate, experiment, and solve problems through meaningful play.
How Children
Learn at SKY
Familiar & Comfortable
Once children have become familiar & comfortable with their environment and have established relationships with friends and teachers, the teaching team will create opportunities to observe, inquire, and listen to the children as they play to discover their interests and wonderings.
Collaboration in Facilitating Children's Learning
As the teaching teams become aware of areas of curiosity for the children, they will then work together to guide the children and facilitate their learning in that topic.
Collaborative Learning Between Teachers and Children
As the children and teachers explore the topic together as partners & collaborators, the teachers use their knowledge of the Early Years Curriculum to notice and record the learning as it occurs. They will highlight key aspects and then challenge the children to go further, dig deeper and ask bigger questions.
Igniting Curiosity Through Collaborative Play
Every day in the classrooms, the children are presented with new provocations & invitations to ignite their curiosity. All children have different ideas and ways of exploring, communicating and discovering. All children are respected & valued. We strongly believe every child is capable and full of creativity & curiosity. When given enough space and time, all children regardless of nationality, language, culture & character will naturally work together, communicating, collaborating, experimenting & solving problems through play.
Reflecting and Celebrating the Learning Journey
The final stage of any project is reflection, including documentation. As partners of the children we communicate & celebrate our learning journey with the families. As teachers, we acknowledge the learning opportunities that were presented and the developmental goals that were achieved. Finally we collaborate with our team to reflect, ask question
