Children are natural explorers and love to investigate what is going on around them. At MyCentre children construct their own learning, based on their interests. At MyCentre the following 5 key principles are implemented.

1. Learning is based on the Children’s interests
In the Reggio Emilia Approach the curriculum is very different to traditional teacher taught curriculums. It is planned by what the children are interested in while playing and engaging in activities of their choice.
2. Collaborative learning
1. Learning is based on the Children’s interests
The Emilio approach focuses on the notion that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. At MyCentre parents, educators, community and the children all work together to provide the best possible care and education for your children.
3. The environment is a known as the ‘Third Teacher’
Children are able to explore both inside and outside the classroom. At MyCentre we encourage kids to get their hands dirty and interact with the natural environment.
4. Children’s progress is continuously documented
Each child at MyCentre has a progress report that is updated regularly. This is done to further assess and plan projects that children want to start, are working towards or revisit. These reports show the children’s growth over the time.
5.Teachers focus on the different ways children learn
Our educators understand how to guide children to express their feelings, and how children use their multiple intelligence and symbolic language.
