Bambini House

Bambini House’s philosophy is deeply inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational approach, founded by Northern Italian educator Loris Malaguzzi. Collaboration between our educators, our children and their families is vital and we constantly strive to nurture and support this connection.

As educators we wholeheartedly believe that each child is competent, inventive, imaginative and brimming with ideas and theories about the world around them. Hence we encourage independence and self-expression by embracing a holistic approach to education that is child-centered. We have a deep respect for each child and therefore nurture their individual learning process by recognising potential and provoking thought, action, conversation and artistic expression. Bambini House provides each child with a comfortable and happy environment to learn in; they can be themselves and have, at their fingertips, endless opportunities to encounter, interact and accomplish. As educators we bring our knowledge to the children in an authentic yet playful manner.

We also honour our sense of place as a learning experience. Bambini House is a heritage building steeped in tradition and we are dedicated to celebrating it through our daily activities. The marks we have made on the building as a community are profound; each room of the house is imbued with our stories, theories, artworks and experiences; a pedagogical documentation within itself.
