It takes a village
to raise a child

We understand that collaboration is inspiration. That’s why we believe in building strong partnerships with families, our local and wider communities, to help us create a dynamic and supportive learning environment that nurtures each child to their full potential.

Through this type of engagement, the children in our care are given opportunities to:

  • build on their self-identity

  • grow their curiosity about the world around them

  • appreciate diversity and increase cultural awareness

  • develop an understanding of their local community and the roles people play

  • start to develop their understanding of their responsibility as global citizens
