Core Values
We at Hearts of Gold believe that creative expression is a basic human need. We are dedicated to connecting children with their ability to create and express themselves. By helping them access their innate creativity and expression, we believe children will become motivated to learn and more fully engaged in life.
At the core of Hearts of Gold, is the belief in the partnership between Family and School in the endeavor to raise children. Our education approach supports children in practicing mutual respect, co-operation, leadership, monitoring, listening, personal integrity, valuing difference and conflict resolution. We help foster the social skills children need to thrive in the relationships they form throughout their lives.
Humans learn, develop and perceive the world in different ways. At Hearts of Gold, we believe children should be supported accordingly. To this end, we carefully observe and assess each child’s individual interests and needs and then use these to guide our teaching. We know that learning comes most naturally when driven by a child’s interests. We adapt structures and instructions to the learning style of each child, while being mindful of our shared goals. Learning subject matter from different perspectives supports the cognitive development of each child’s brain and helps them to become more flexible and critical thinkers.
Children construct some of their most important learning through play. We believe that joy, engagement and relatedness increase the possibility for learning and creativity and are required for rigorous and powerful educational experiences. The value of play is an integral part of our Programme. At Hearts of Gold, play is one of the ways children express themselves, process new topics and ideas and form relationships.
It is critical for children to develop a profound sense of self, which we believe involves considering and understanding their own learning processes, social skills and strategies for well-being. We support children in becoming aware of how their bodies and thought process connect to a personal sense of health, efficacy and resilience. We help them to be open minded, reflective and balanced. Our aim, as Hearts of Gold, is to in-still a passion for personal growth and wellness that lasts a lifetime.
