We believe every child should be heard, respected, included and given chances to learn and flourish in an environment where they feel safe, valued, connected and empowered.
Learning comes through curiosity, inquiry, play and hands on experiences.
Play is the foundation of learning at Poppy Patch. Children's voices and interests guide what happens next, and our indoor and outdoor environments are designed to invite discovery.
We see children as capable, competent learners.
We support resilience, wellbeing, confidence and independence, including appropriate risk taking, and positive relationships with others and with the natural world.
Belonging sits at the centre of everything.
Responsive relationships and play based learning build confidence, agency, independence and a love of learning that children carry with them.
You know your child best. We listen, share what we see each day and shape their time with us around what helps them feel happy and settled.
