The Seaforth Kindergarten care and education of your child is guided by:

• The belief that the rights of children should be upheld, and the voices of children acknowledged.
• Practice and research include the philosophy of theory incorporating Maria Montessori, Reggio Emilio, Rudolph Steiner and other great philosophers.
• The understanding that families will play an active role with the Educators to foster their child’s wellbeing, social development and joy of learning.
