“Driven to leave the Earth in safer hands than ours – that’s it!”
– Nikeeta and Darius

• “Our ‘chrysalis’ is a protected stage of development, where care is first and foremost, followed by development and transformations that are calm and unhurried, yet filled with wonder and amazement, just like Nature itself”
• “Our children are being prepared to learn throughout life – to open endless opportunities and continually create, innovate, change and improve”
• “Children should have a strong sense of belonging and inclusivity in the very communities that they will be expected to build, lead, and hold together one day”
• “We are preparing children to be our future guardians of a sustainable world with respect to and guidance from our bicultural heritage and multicultural society”

(E), (A), (R), (T), (H):

• (E)nvironment: We consider the environment as a teacher and influencer of our moods and actions which is why our centre is immersed in nature-based outdoor and indoor settings, designs, materials, and resources.
• (A)wareness: We aim to provide experiences that promote self-confidence, enhance understanding of others, and encourage guardianship of life. Additionally, we prioritize the well-being of both children and teachers by promoting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
• (R)elationships: Our philosophy is deeply rooted in finding connectivity with all life on Earth, and we promote the building of engaged, healthy, vibrant, and diverse communities based on this.
• (T)ransformation: We view learning as a journey where the process of gaining knowledge is as important as the outcome, and our educators serve as guides, facilitators, and enablers rather than authoritative experts. Our aim is to prepare children for a lifetime journey of transition, change, and adaptation.
• (H)olistic: We are planting seeds in children’s minds for a life of resilience, empowerment, competency and capability.
