The Steiner Philosophy
OVERVIEW OF THE STEINER PHILOSOPHY
Growing children have many needs that require nurturing, and the Steiner philosophy thrives on meeting not only the academic and physical needs but the social, spiritual and artistic ones as well.
Children at Whispering Gully Childcare Centres are provided with engaging and relevant learning opportunities, through meaningful creative and imaginative experiences, so that they can grow into ethical, thoughtful and capable individuals.
FOCUS ON QUALITY OF PLAY AND IMAGINATION
Children are filled with a natural joy and curiosity, and Steiner-based education uses this natural affinity to promote basic developmental tasks.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
It has been found that through play young children are presented with a rich and profound learning experience about how to engage with their environment (physically and through the senses).
HEALTH
Health is a crucial aspect of Steiner education, from wholesome nutrition to physical movement. Healthy rituals and rhythms are part of the inclusive curriculum, enabling us to look after your children's health needs.
CREATING MEANINGFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES
At the heart of Whispering Gully is the guiding principle of a holistic and integrated educational approach to early childhood development. Steiner education focuses on developing the different dimensions of a child: emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. What makes this educational approach so special is that each child is honoured as a unique individual, and his or her development is founded on this understanding.
