Our Core Principles
We operate under the core principles of the Steiner education methodology. At our centre, we deeply respect childhood as a unique and precious stage of life. We honour each child's individuality, interests, and abilities, fostering a sense of self-worth and confidence.
Our early education and care centre is designed to provide a natural and harmonious setting. We use natural materials and incorporate outdoor play to connect children with the wonders of the natural world.
Rhythm & routine

Social and emotional learning are priorities in our curriculum. We teach important skills such as empathy, cooperation, communication, and conflict resolution to help children thrive in social interactions.
Creative expression
Artistic activities such as watercolour painting, beeswax crayon drawing, felt props storytelling and music are integrated into the curriculum to foster creativity and self-expression.
Creativity is central to our approach. We offer artistic activities such as painting, drawing, storytelling, and music to inspire imagination, self-expression, and problem-solving skills.
Academic approach
There is a strong focus on allowing children to develop at their own pace and respond according to academics introduced gradually in a developmentally and age-appropriate way.
Overall, Waldorf Steiner daycare centres aims to provide a nurturing, holistic, and child-centred environment that supports each child's unique development journey and a lifelong love of learning.
Respect for childhood
We treasure each child's individuality, honouring their unique strengths and interests. We wholeheartedly embrace play, creativity, and imagination as fundamental elements for learning and growth. At the heart of our approach is the belief that play is not just a pastime, but a powerful avenue for children to learn, explore, and connect with the world in meaningful ways.
