Our approach to learning
Learning through play, curiosity and connection
At TinyWings, children are active participants in their own learning. Our educators create meaningful, play-based experiences that respond to each child’s interests, strengths, development and individual way of learning.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our program supports children to develop across five important areas.
Early Years Learning Framework
Five areas we grow together
Identity
A strong sense of who they are.
Connection
Meaningful relationships with people, community and their world.
Wellbeing
Confidence, resilience and emotional security.
Learning
Curiosity, creativity, exploration and problem-solving.
Communication
The confidence to express ideas, thoughts, feelings and discoveries.
Each area shows up in ordinary moments: a shared story, a first attempt at a zip, a question asked out loud and taken seriously.
Thinking together
Big ideas, in small moments
Alongside early learning, we introduce children to age-appropriate philosophical thinking through stories, conversations and everyday experiences.
We encourage curiosity, reflection, thoughtful questioning and an early understanding of values such as truth, love, wisdom, justice and courage. It is natural, warm and part of how children learn to make sense of themselves and the world around them.
