Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Positive relationships are warm and loving, and foster a sense of belonging, sensitive and responsive to the children’s needs and families.

Enabling environments means valuing all people and value learning they offer stimulating resources, relevant to all the children’s cultures and communities.
