Length of Position: 3-12 months

Description: At Gaia we have devised well thought out scientific methods of strengthening the process of learning holistically. Our goal is to awaken and foster in each child a sense of wonder; a creative and inquiring mind; and compassion for and interest in all life. We do this by delivering the child to a world of imagination, make belief, positive story telling, creative problem solving and giving vent to a child's imagination imaginatively.

We believe that children should learn in a natural environment free of any stress, non-violently and at their own pace. Naturally: since nature teaches silently but profoundly.

Enter the calm, natural environment of Gaia and at once be surrounded by greens and open spaces. Be enchanted by the geese and ducks swimming in the water body inside the school and feel welcomed by the quacking of these water dwellers. Walk further and a few yard hens look up at you. While you start to wonder at the animals you suddenly take note of a vast variety of pigeons perched around on roofs or flying in low formation around the school lawns.

Behold the natural low hut-like aesthetically pleasing architecture of the activity rooms. Experience the home like warmth of each room; touch the natural simple toys; notice the subdued lighting. In this place each child plays contentedly and creatively, his or her imagination guiding the way.

With reassuringly high standards of care and excellent facilities Carers are able to provide the individual attention and stimulus every child needs to feel happy and confident.

Highlights: A typical Gaia week includes arts and crafts, puppetry, woodworking, painting, sculpting, pottery, story telling, cooking, bread baking, singing games, healthy outdoor physical play and the learning of social courtesies.

Gaia Playschool & Daycare's Mission Statement: "...the purpose, the aim and drive of the school is to equip the child so that he may function with clarity and efficiency in the modern world, far more important to create the right climate so that the child may develop fully as a complete human being. This means giving him the opportunity to flower in goodness so that he is rightly related to people, things and ideas; to the whole life." - Jiddu Krishnamurti
