Children's programs
-
- A girl learns one-on-one with her teacher.
The first six years of life are VITAL for the long-term
successes for each child. Building Futures utilises an
internationally-recognised and research-proven method
of early learning. This ensures that each child is provided
with the optimum possible experiences and environment
to support their developing potentials. We believe that
all children have the right to the best early years environments.
Children need interaction with nature, large muscle challenges,
concrete learning materials, intelligent language modelling,
support for socialisation and an environment which promotes
their independence. Led by staff with specialist training,
Building Futures centres implement the Montessori method
of education which most clearly meets these needs.

"Education either functions
as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration
of the younger generation into the logic of the present
system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice
of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically
and creatively with reality and discover how to participate
in the transformation of their world."
~ Paulo Freire (Brazilian
educator and a highly influential theorist of education).
