The WonderWorks provides a community and safe space where everyone is valued, respected, and listened to.
A place where children learn at their own pace, and they are not rushed, the joy, and journey of lifelong learning is treasured.
Children have the freedom to experiment, explore, learn from mistakes, and take their interests and learning in any direction they choose.
Each element of our provision is designed to promote play, engage children’s senses, provoke curiosity and to bring a feeling of warmth, wellbeing, and respect.
Every day at The WonderWorks is seen as an exciting adventure providing new opportunities and endless possibilities.
Our approach is centered around children’s natural curiosity. Every element of our space has been designed to focus on the children, what they can see, what they can touch, what they can discover, how it will make them feel and how it will encourage their learning. This is their space, and they are free to explore and take their learning in any direction they choose.
Our Teachers blend a number of well researched and established approaches to early years care and education to create ‘The WonderWorks approach’.
Some of these influences include Reggio Emilia, Pikler, Forest School and Hygge approaches
Children are not “empty vessels to be filled”, but rather they are "active builders of knowledge - little scientists who construct their own theories of the world."
