We are honoured and humbled to receive the ET Award for Excellence in Global & 21st Century Skills Learning, a recognition that reflects our commitment to nurturing children who are curious, collaborative and confident learners.
A PROUD MOMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
At Circles & Cycles, we are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and believe 21st-century skills are woven into everyday experiences with authenticity.This can be observed through inquiry, play, problem-solving, group work, and the forming of meaningful relationships. Our children have the opportunities to think critically, communicate their ideas, work together, and develop a deep sense of responsibility towards the world around them. Our environments, projects, and provocations encourage our children to ask questions, explore possibilities; they become empowered learners not only in academic growth but through 21st century skills which hold them in strong stead as they move on to adolescence and adulthood.
This award recognises the strength of our learning community. Our Facilitators are supported through ongoing professional development which includes reflective coaching practices, ensuring they remain responsive to children’s ideas and interests as well as their own learning inspirations and growth. Together with our families, we create a culture where children’s voices are valued, diversity is celebrated, sustainability is embraced, and learning extends beyond the classroom.
More than an achievement, this recognition reaffirms our belief that children are capable, and full of potential. We remain focused on our mission to create spaces where curiosity thrives, creativity flourishes, and children develop the skills, mindsets, and values needed to navigate an ever-changing world with confidence and empathy.
Circles & Cycles is a place where children are free to simply be. A space where they can explore, engage with their environment, build bonds, and discover the world around them. Whether through colour, clay, conversations, or just dance, children are encouraged to express themselves through the 100 Languages in ways which they feel most comfortable.
At Circles & Cycles, we listen to children’s voices. We nurture their spirit of inquiry, encouraging them to ask questions, wonder and investigate. We support them to work together with their peers, share ideas, ask questions, solve problems, and grow into confident individuals who feel heard and valued. These everyday experiences nurture children to become thoughtful and empathetic individuals, equipped with the skills and values needed in an ever-changing world.
