Inspiring a Lifelong Love of Learning

We embrace a blend of internationally recognised educational philosophies to support the holistic development of every child, guiding them with care and respect on their journey of self-discovery.

The Reggio Emilia Approach

Learning Through Exploration and Expression

The Reggio Emilia Approach views children as capable, curious, and rich in potential. This approach fosters active involvement and encourages children to lead their own learning journey. At Rosebank and Nature Garden, we implement Reggio Emilia by:

Creating inspiring, engaging environments where children can explore, create, and express themselves through a variety of mediums—such as drawing, building, role-playing, and more.
Using open-ended materials to encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative expression.
Guiding learning through meaningful questions and collaborative projects that spark curiosity.
Fostering self-directed learning, where children’s interests lead the way and shape their learning experiences.

Montessori Principles

Fostering Independence and Respect

The Montessori Method is built on the belief that children are naturally eager to learn and capable of doing so when given freedom and structure. At Rosebank and Nature Garden, we embrace these principles by:

Providing a well-organised environment with accessible materials that promote independence, focus, and exploration.
Encouraging independent decision-making, where children choose their activities and work at their own pace.
Supporting self-discipline through structured activities and clear expectations.
Fostering a sense of responsibility and respect for both the environment and peers.

Enriched Learning Experiences

Beyond the Classroom: A World of Exploration

We believe in the importance of a well-rounded curriculum that goes beyond academic learning. Each day at Rosebank and Nature Garden, children engage in a variety of experiences designed to stimulate their senses, spark their imagination, and build their social skills.

Outdoor Play: With three hours of outdoor activity each day, children explore our large garden, where they engage in natural, hands-on learning experiences that encourage physical development, teamwork, and a love of nature.
Sensory and Music Rooms: These specially designed rooms offer opportunities for children to engage with sound, movement, and tactile experiences that support their emotional and cognitive growth.
Storytelling and Drama: Through role play, stories, and expressive arts, we encourage children to develop empathy, creativity, and communication skills.
