Our Ethos

What is Curiosity approach?

The name says it all—our goal is to ignite a child’s natural curiosity to explore the world around them.

Both of our settings follow the Curiosity Approach. Our Lindford setting is just beginning this journey, and we can’t wait to document the process on our social media platforms. The Curiosity Approach brings the fun back into learning!

Instead of directing children or telling them what to do, the Curiosity Approach is based on child-led learning. This allows children to make their own choices and solve problems independently, fostering confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

The approach draws inspiration from several early education philosophies, including Reggio Emilia, Montessori, Pikler, and Steiner. It seeks to develop children who are 'thinkers and doers'—active learners who engage with the world—rather than passive learners who simply follow instructions.

By encouraging active learning, children become more engaged with their environment and have more fun. They take ownership of their development by choosing activities that align with their interests.
