A journey back to the future

the gaia (earth) education philosophy ®

Our Gaia (Earth) Education Philosophy® is where modern Earth Science meets Ancient Cultural Knowledge in a nature immersive environment to create “childcare like you’ve never seen before!”

Our philosophy has been in the making for over 4 billion (and 50!) years and is deeply rooted in our centres’ principles and practices and in our environments that emulate natural eco-systems of the Earth. Our approach is centred around Values, Curriculum & Outcomes for children and we draw inspiration from various philosophies, including Nature-based, Forest preschool, Reggio, Montessori, Emmi Pikler, RIE, and Friluftsliv (open air) Scandinavian forms of teaching and learning. By weaving together these approaches, we strive to deepen and connect them with the fundamental principles of Gaia (Earth) itself.

Our publication about our fully immersive Gaia (Earth) inspired education approach has been widely peer reviewed by panels of academics and education practitioners at the following international forums:

  • International Conference for Education, Research & Innovation, Seville, 2018 (one of the largest Education forums in Europe),
  • International Conference for Future Learning, Barcelona, 2018
  • World Forum on Early Care and Education, Macao, 2019
  • AGU100 – Engaging Preschool Kids into Earth and Space Sciences, USA, 2019.
