Education

Starts With You


We provide holistic, organic Early Childhood Education and Care.

Set in a native bush environment and guided by the philosophical approaches of Rudolf Steiner, Reggio Emilia,  Maria Montessori, Emmi Pikler, ​RIE; Magda Gerber's Resources for Infant Educarers approach and the principles and practices of Australia's Early Years Learning Framework. Children spend their days engaging in nature together with educators who hold the highest image of them as capable and competent individuals.
