Our Vision
At Amber, we
believe that all children are unique individuals with the right to
belong and develop their own sense of identity - both personal and
cultural. A quality early childhood learning environment should foster
practices which value and develop children’s home languages and cultural
values. We believe that this is best achieved through respectful
engagements with parents/families in sharing cultural knowledge to
nurture the child’s whole being - body, mind & spirit. High quality
education and care is paramount to us so that we can ensure a holistic
way of learning and development.
Our Philosophy
- We believe that all children have right to learn and practice their
home languages and cultural values. Therefore, we promote collaborative
relationships with parents, where contribution and participation is
encouraged to support continuity in values, beliefs, customs and
traditions.
- We
believe that all children have unique individual personalities. We
respect their individuality by providing opportunities for their own
ideas to flourish in order to enhance their self-esteem and
self-confidence
- We
believe children are holistic beings therefore our practice has a
strong focus in nurturing and empowering children’s physical, cognitive,
social and emotional well-being. We acknowledge learning as a holistic
process, in which we aim to build skills, knowledge, and understandings
through a play-based programme, interwoven within the wider context of
family, home and community.
- We
believe in the power of natural environment to teach and inspire. We
work to weave nature into the lives of children to foster imagination,
curiosity and inquiry. We aim to create a natural learning environment
both indoors & outdoors that is stimulating, educational and safe,
which invokes sense of wonder, curiosity, connection and discovery,
through exploration.
- We
believe in promoting a peaceful and secure environment for children. We
strive to create an environment where children can learn and enjoy, as
often as possible, authentic, real life and meaningful experiences.
