Mission
Our SUN Principles
The SUN Principles form the philosophical foundation of the Sunshine Hearts Curriculum, guiding our approach to teaching, learning and children's holistic development.
At Sunshine Hearts Preschool, children are at the heart of everything we do. We see them as capable, curious and active learners who grow through relationships, play, exploration, inquiry and meaningful experiences.
Supportive Relationships
Children learn best when they feel safe, valued, respected, and emotionally connected to the people and environment around them.
Unique Learners
Every child is capable, curious, and learns in different ways. Learning experiences are responsive to children's strengths, interests, needs, and developmental stages.
Nurturing Development
Learning supports the development of knowledge, skills, character, confidence, well-being, and positive attitudes towards learning.
Our SHINE Framework
☀️The SHINE Framework reflects our commitment to nurturing the whole child, balancing academic foundations, character development and meaningful experiences while empowering every child to reach their unique potential.
Strong Foundation
Developing Essential Knowledge and Skills. Building Essential Skills and Preparing Children for a Confident Primary 1 Journey. "Ready for Primary 1, Ready for the Future."
Holistic Development
Nurturing the Whole Child. Supporting balanced growth through six learning domains:
- Language & Literacy
- Numeracy
- Discovery of the World
- Social & Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Artistic & Creative Expression
Integrated Approach
Making Learning Meaningful and Connected. Through meaningful themes, inquiry, and real-world experiences, children connect what they learn to everyday life. By linking ideas across learning areas, they develop deeper understanding and see greater relevance in their learning.
Nurtured Character
Developing Positive Values. Positive character is developed through daily experiences and interactions:
- Caring – Kind and respectful
- Confident – Believes in their abilities
- Responsible – Makes positive choices and takes ownership
- Resilient – Perseveres through challenges and adapts to change
Experiential Learning
Learning Through Active Participation. Children learn most effectively when actively engaged in meaningful experiences. Through exploration, discovery, play, and hands-on learning, they develop curiosity, creativity, independence, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
