Our Inspiration — A World-Class Educational Philosophy
At Ascot Early Childhood, we proudly draw inspiration from the renowned Reggio Emilia Approach — a philosophy that aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering an Exceeding National Quality Standard learning experience.
The Reggio Emilia philosophy views every child as strong, capable, and full of potential, with unique ideas, interests, and ways of expressing themselves. We honour and nurture these qualities by creating rich, thoughtful learning environments and experiences that empower children to explore, question, and thrive.
What Sets Our Approach Apart
A Deep Respect for Every Child
We see children as curious, competent, and creative individuals. Every voice matters, and every idea is valued. Through genuine partnerships with families, we ensure each child’s learning journey is meaningful and personalised.
Learning Through a Hundred Languages
Children communicate and make sense of the world in countless ways — through art, music, movement, construction, storytelling, and imaginative play. We provide endless opportunities for children to explore and express themselves in these hundred languages, fostering confidence, originality, and joy in learning.
Environments with Purpose
Our spaces are intentionally designed as a ‘third teacher’ — calming, beautiful, and purposeful environments where everything is thoughtfully arranged to support exploration, independence, and discovery. Every material and resource is selected to inspire learning, wonder, and engagement.
Collaborative Learning, Guided by Educators
Our experienced, long-term educators are highly trained in child-led learning. They listen deeply, observe carefully, and build upon children’s ideas to co-construct learning. This ensures that children experience collaborative, project-based learning that is both challenging and inspiring.

Inspired Learning That Builds Lifelong Skills
At Ascot Early Childhood, learning is never one-size-fits-all. Each project, experience, and interaction is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, extend thinking, and build the skills children need for the future. Our programs foster critical thinking, collaboration, resilience, and creativity — laying a strong foundation not just for school, but for life.
By embracing children’s ideas and questions, we guide them through deep, meaningful investigations that connect learning across literacy, numeracy, STEM, the arts, and the world around them. Every day offers opportunities to problem-solve, experiment, and discover in ways that are relevant and inspiring.
A Connected Community Where Every Child Belongs
Families are at the heart of everything we do. We believe true excellence in early childhood education is built on strong partnerships — where families and educators work together to support each child’s learning and wellbeing.
At Ascot Early Childhood, we value your insights, culture, and aspirations. Through open communication, shared goal-setting, and genuine collaboration, we create an inclusive and supportive environment where every child feels safe, confident, and proud of who they are. This sense of belonging helps children form positive relationships and a strong sense of identity, giving them the confidence to thrive.
