Our Approach

 

Our childcare inspiration comes from the Reggio Emilia and RIE approaches. The Reggio Emilia approach is an inquiry-based learning model that focuses on the children's interests, passions, and strengths. RIE is a parenting philosophy that emphasises a child-led approach.  

 

We believe that children learn best when they can explore and engage with the world around them at their own pace and in their own unique way. The curriculum at Kiddz integrates different areas of learning through both short-term explorations and long-term inquiry projects.

 

Children are seen as leaders in their own learning journey, and they are encouraged to collaborate with their peers in constructing new ideas and theories. The educators at Kiddz play a supportive role by extending and deepening the children's ideas and theories. They observe, listen, and ask thoughtful questions to facilitate the children's wonder, discovery, and contribution to their learning.
