Our curriculum and programme

The Seaforth Kindergarten programme recognises children’s needs for a discovery and inquiry approach to learning and so provides them with many opportunities to make choices. This programme stimulates children to become independent, critical thinkers in their own learning and development.

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.
