Philosophy goals and vision

Philosophy

We are committed to providing the highest level of care and education for your child
in a happy, safe, warm and nurturing environment. At The Learning Ladder we
encourage mutual respect of each other, of family, other cultures and our environment.

We understand that through play and education we can assist in the development
of your child physically, socially, cognitively, creatively and morally.

Nurture Respect Integrity Education Happiness

Goals

With the guidance and support of our educators, our educational play-based program will assist your child with:

Respect for themselves and others
Confidence and 'give it a try' attitude
Curiosity and imagination
Friendly and caring behavior

As we are licensed for children from 3 months to 5 years, we understand the different needs and requirements from babies to toddlers to preschoolers. Our team of educators are experienced in caring for children of these age groups.

We aim to develop and maintain strong links with our surrounding primary schools to ensure that our 4-5 year old children are well prepared for beginning school.

Our centre provides a dynamic teaching and learning environment, one that gives each child a chance to play, discover and to grow in an atmosphere of care and mutual respect; children, regardless of race, gender, age, ability, social status or family structure are able to participate in all aspects of a challenging and unique educational program.
