To establish a foundation for learning and play experiences, developing meaningful relationships based on respect and trust is at the heart of what we do. By observing and listening for meaning in children’s play, thoughts and perspectives we learn so much about the children, the richness of their play and interactions. We can become aware of what children know and can do, and use this information to ensure that what we provide and how we interact is closely linked to their abilities and needs.

At Happy Souls, we also believe there is value and beauty in letting kids be kids. Yes, it is important we provide children an environment where they can create and test theories, seek answers to questions they may have, investigate ideas and be challenged. Just as important, is also providing them with an environment where they can share their stories, chat away with friends, sing, dance, daydream, relax with a good book or just play. What better way to celebrate their childhood.
