There is no one way to be a child at Weavers
Every child arrives with their own personality, interests, strengths and way of seeing the world. We take the time to understand each child and give them the freedom and support to follow their interests, develop their independence and grow in confidence.
An environment designed with purpose
The environment at Weavers acts as the loom- the structure that supports and enables development.
The Weaver’s Way is firmly grounded in pedagogical principles that underpin its educational philosophy and approach to learning.
Montessori – the prepared environment carefully designed to promote independence, order and purposeful activity.
The curiosity approach – emphasises, authentic, natural and open ended resources that spark imagination and exploration.
The mosaic approach – recognises the environment as a space where children express their thoughts and ideas.
Bronfenbrenner – development is influenced by the interconnected worlds around the child: family, educators, relationships, community and culture.
How learning takes shape
At Weavers, learning is shaped by the whole ecology of the child — their family, relationships, culture, community, environment and experiences. Children weave these influences together with new discoveries, building knowledge and understanding through curiosity, exploration and connection.
Wellbeing first
Environment as the third teacher
Autonomy and independence
Valuing every child’s uniqueness
Exploration through curiosity
Relationships at the heart
Shared journey with families
Every experience becomes a thread, woven into each child’s unique journey of learning and development.
Stronger through connection
Children grow through their connections with others. Educators, families and children all play a part in creating a community where everyone feels known, valued and able to contribute.
Our calm and caring teachers are dedicated to each child’s growth – physically, emotionally and intellectually.
