Every moment is an opportunity to learn
At Kids Planet, how children learn matters just as much as what they learn.
Our approach is built around five Pedagogical Roots that shape the experiences, relationships and environments we create, helping children develop confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
What is pedagogy?
Pedagogy is simply how we support children to learn. It’s the thinking behind the experiences we provide, the relationships we build and the environments we create.
Our five Pedagogical Roots bring everything together, guiding how we nurture each child’s individual development.
Our Five Pedagogical Roots
Five principles guide how we create meaningful learning opportunities and experiences for every child.
-
Play
Play is at the heart of learning. Through imagination, exploration and child-led discovery, children develop creativity, independence and the confidence to try new things.
-
Experiences
From cooking and gardening to exploring nature, real-life experiences spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving and help children develop practical skills.
-
Connections
Strong relationships help children feel safe, supported and understood. Close bonds with their key person provide the security and encouragement to explore and grow.
-
Environments
Our calm, welcoming spaces encourage independence, imagination and exploration, giving children opportunities to make choices and learn in surroundings where they feel secure.
-
Community
By celebrating different backgrounds and connecting with the people and places around us, we help children develop a sense of belonging and an appreciation of others.
Bringing our approach to life
Our practitioners bring our Pedagogical Roots into everyday nursery life by observing children’s interests, creating meaningful experiences and supporting their discoveries.
They know when to offer guidance, introduce a new challenge or simply step back, allowing children the freedom to explore, experiment and learn for themselves.
