FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
“ We care for your child.”
PEDAGOGY
In our centre, we use the Reggio Emilia approach.
The Reggio Emilia philosophy is a worldwide approach to teaching and learning in early childhood education. It is first started in Italy by its founder Loris Malaguzzi in the 1970s. It is based on the beliefs that children have rights and should be given equal opportunities to develop their highest potential during their early years.
This approach enables us to see clearly the amazing potential of all children. We see every child as resilient and capable. Our programme promotes children’s curiosity which drives their understandings of the world.
Therefore, the Reggio Approach suits best for our Hansel & Gretel Child Development Centre because we believe that it is capable to help meet the various needs of children in the 21st century.
Our desire is to make the process of children’s learning more visible. We use documentation approach to systematically record children’s work through photographs, video recordings and observations.
PRIORITIES
1. Security and safety. Our centre is secured by 24 hours CCTV surveillance camera and alarm system. Safety gates are installed.
