The program consists of five to six units of inquiry a year that provide a balance of collaborative projects, small-group teacher-led experiences and smooth transitions throughout the daily routine. Children have time for free play and time to pursue their individual interests. They are encouraged to learn by observing, questioning, discussing, wondering, doing, making, collaborating and expressing their thinking in ways that reflect their individuality, strengths and creativity. A love of books, stories, role play, reading and writing are cultivated and form the basis of Literacy, Numeracy and Science.
