Our Ethos
What is Curiosity approach?
The clue is in the name – to ignite a child’s natural curiosity to explore the world around them.
Both of our setting follows the Curiosity approach. Our Lindford setting is only just beginning and we can’t wait to document that process on our social media platform. The Curiosity approach puts the fun back into learning!
Instead of directing children, and telling them what to do, the curiosity approach is based on child-led learning. Therefore, children make their own choices, and figure things out for themselves which leads to enhanced confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
The approach draws ideas from other philosophies of early education including Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Pikler, and Steiner. It aims to create children who are ‘thinkers and doers’ instead of passive learners who simply follow the direction of an adult.
By creating active learners, children are more engaged in their environment and have a lot more fun. They are in charge of their own development and choose activities which play to their own interests.
