Shanti Graham
Director & Owner
I hold a deep belief in the enchantment and marvel of early childhood and understand that fostering a sense of magic and wonder allows a child's creativity to soar to new heights.
I firmly believe that creativity serves as the bedrock for all learning, empowering children to think for themselves and explore without boundaries or limitations.
My intention for each day I teach is to bring some magic, wonder and learning to each child.

Sean
Accounts Manager, Owner and Husband to Shanti
Meet Sean, our Accounts Manager, Co-Owner and Husband to Shanti. He is the man behind the scenes who handles family accounts. He is also just a tiny bit popular with all the children on the occasions he pops into the daycare. The children all squeal with laughter, joy and excitement if he playfully picks them up as they think he is “as tall as a giraffe”…to say he is a little bit popular is a bit of an understatement :)

Robyn Graham
Educational Mentor
I love educating and caring for young children, specifically with the Rudolf Steiner Educational approach based on a developmental and holistic approach that resonates with the child’s stage in life. I value good imitation of the teacher for the children to learn from - Goodness, Truth and Reverence and a sense of security for the children through Routine and Rhythm . I see and value the effectiveness and joy of seasonal imaginative story telling where we know the story off by heart and demonstrate it with natural hand made props and celebrated the seasons with festivals. I value seasonal pentatonic songs and poems that touches the child’s inner most being in an imaginative manner and connects them with the natural world. Most importantly, I love bringing the quality of presence in my relationship to the children so they may experience validation, belonging and being. Education in the Steiner way is meaningful, aesthetic, imaginative, naturally beautiful and joyful and a way of life for me that I thoroughly enjoy bringing to the children .

Every day, I am inspired by the opportunity to encourage curiosity, creativity, and a lifetime love of learning in the children I teach. I love to teach in a Steiner way. My goal is to inspire and encourage them to reach their maximum potential, providing them with the skills and mindset required to thrive in an ever-changing world.
