At our Diggers Rest day care, our philosophy focuses on the Reggio Emilia Approach, which values children as strong, capable, and resilient learners with an abundance of wonder. Our play-based and child-led learning program offers children uninterrupted time for play, plenty of freedom, a calm and relaxed environment, cooperative relationships, and our full attention. We believe the learning environments act as the 'third teacher' encouraging children to investigate and use their imagination and creativity through play.
