Integrity
They approach everything they do with trust, honesty, and transparency. From their school-wide commitment to their mission statements and vision, down to their relationship with their students and families, integrity is built into the very foundation of their values, beliefs, and daily practices.
Growth Mindset
They take the initiative to adapt, reflect and evolve in a world that is ever-changing. They recognize opportunities for learning and growth daily in their unwavering commitment to uphold their mission and vision toward sustainable living.
Relationship-Based
Relationships are at the foundation of everything; their relationship with the environment, with each other, and with their community. They work closely to build relationships with families, educators, and their greater community to achieve their goals.
Collaborative Partnership
Together we can all accomplish remarkable achievements. They know that this meaningful and necessary work cannot be done in isolation. Together with their students, their families, and the greater community, they can improve the quality of life for our world, our generation, and generations to come.
Inclusion
Everyone deserves to feel a sense of belonging; a place where their voices are heard and their ideas are valued. Together they co-create a learning environment built on trust and respect, and honour the lived experiences each child brings into the classroom with them.
Where Brighter Futures Are Cultivated
At the heart of Terra Early Learning Centre's vision lies its carefully crafted integrated curriculum. Drawing inspiration from sustainability education, Montessori principles, and inquiry-based learning, this holistic approach kindles a spark of wonder and curiosity within each young learner.
Terra Early Learning is not just an early learning centre - they are fostering sustainability advocates and leaders. Their goal is to empower children to be innovative thinkers, problem solvers, and active community contributors. By nurturing their curiosity and providing them with the skills and knowledge to live sustainably, they equip them to create a better world. We only wish this centre existed for our own children when they were younger!
And there's even more to uncover – the enchantment of the great outdoors. Terra Early Learning Centre embraces nature as an integral part of the learning experience, providing abundant opportunities for children to interact with the natural world. The outdoor spaces, thoughtfully designed to spark imagination and encourage hands-on exploration, beckon the little ones to immerse themselves in the marvels of nature.
