We're incredibly proud to be the very first Curiosity Approach Accredited setting in Leicester and the UK!!
The Curiosity Approach™ is an inspirational approach to early childhood which takes inspiration from from Reggio, Steiner, Te Whariki and a sprinkle of Montessori, underpinned by the EYFS.
It's a beautiful recipe of wonderful ingredients, carefully mixed together with experience, passion and a love of early childhood.
This is a modern day approach that fits perfectly in current changing technological times - bringing curiosity, awe and wonder into early childhood and creating the 'thinkers and doers' of the future.
The Curiosity Approach is about developing:
Independent thinking
Stronger non-verbal communication
Language and verbal communication
Problem-solving
