Ignatius Early Years

The curriculum of the Ignatius Early Years introduces characteristics of Jesuit education and draws inspiration from the schools of Reggio Emilia, allowing children’s curiosity and potential to drive their learning experience.

Children attending Ignatius Early Years express themselves in a variety of ways, referred to as ‘The Hundred Languages’. Our teachers nurture each child’s natural imagination and creativity through play and exploration. Extensive planning has gone into both the indoor and outdoor learning settings, with the child’s perspective at the forefront of our minds.

Here, a warm, caring, and secure environment helps young minds grow in confidence and self-esteem. We encourage children to remain open to new ideas and respect others’ thinking, always celebrating wonder and discovery of self, their community, and the wider world. It is a time for the formation of the whole person (and their family) – spiritually, socially, culturally, academically, and physically.

This is where a lifetime of possibility and love of learning begins.
