VALUES

Spirited Hearts™ has many values, however, there are five core values that hold up all the rest. These are the values that are embedded in the philosophy, practices, policies and purpose of all of the services under Spirited Hearts™

Connection

This is so vital to all aspects of what it means to truly thrive. Connection to ourselves, others and the world around us inspires, influences and shapes who we are in any given moment. Connections filled with awareness, presence, love and unconditional acceptance support us in our journeys through life. It is these types of connections that we create and nurture at Spirited Hearts™

Emotional Wellbeing

We have a strong focus on holding space for all the big feelings that are expressed. Whether we feel joy and excitement or sadness, disappointment and frustration, all are held in a safe, loving and compassionate space. When we have people around us that deeply listen to us with empathy and presence, we feel understood, supported and can move through the struggles we face in life.

Freedom

We love providing freedom, power, autonomy and choice. We practice this by deeply valuing everyone’s needs, feelings and willingness. Through collaborations, connections and holding space for what arises, we support others and ourselves in the freedom to be beautifully and uniquely ourself. We value natural and life-long learning, where everyone learns in their own time, at their own rate and in their own way.

Joy

There is nothing like seeing the joy, wonder and awe on a child’s face. You can feel that energy radiate outwards. It is like the warmth of sunshine. That childlike joy is something we all need. Living from a place of pure joy has the power to change not just the life of another, but also our own contentment in life. We celebrate the joy we feel when we surround ourselves in nature. Our Natural Learning Haven has the most beautiful and vibrant outdoor space where children are free to explore, discover and adventure.

Healing

We provide the strongest emotional support to families and children. We honour all feelings, and provide the loving presence needed for everyone to heal from everyday stresses. We are trauma-informed and have the spaciousness and willingness to support families and children to heal by holding space, offering attachment play therapies and much more. This is one of the main aspects that sets us apart from every other daycare, preschool and kindergarten. We offer something truly special to all the children and families in our care. We help children create the strongest foundation to their emotional wellbeing in the most crucial time in their entire life – the first five years.

MISSION

Our purpose for over a decade has been to revolutionise Early Childhood Education, so that each child is celebrated for the beautiful, unique individual that they are.

We envision childcare settings, schools and homes will be places filled with unconditional accecptance, empathy, compassion, respect and a places of healing instead of stress.

We know the journey as a parent can be isolating and hard. We strive to provide support, deep listening and empathy to all parents who choose to work beside us, as we create a better world for ourselves and our children.
