A ‘LEARNING ENVIRONMENT’
FOR CHILDREN
Play underpins all of our programs at Wool and Thimble.
Through creative play, children expand on their imagination, and become experimental, curious learners.
Through social play, children learn from each other, and build on each other’s ideas.
Through communication play, children learn the precursors to reading – making words, rhyming, and syllabification.
Influenced by the philosophies of Reggio Emilia and Montessori, we follow the lead of the children. We pair our play interactions with adult ideas, allowing our children to learn about themselves, their environment and each other.
We do all of this with a strong emphasis on using natural, real materials.
