Happy Hearts Academy believes that connection between family, community and the early childhood setting makes a supportive environment to enrich children to become capable, involved and independent learners.

Continuity of teaching in learning experiences makes education more meaningful and allows children to develop a sense of belonging within their learning environment.

The teachers at Happy Hearts Academy scaffold children’s learning to guide children through a learning journey. They aim to develop learning dispositions such as cooperation, concentration, commitment, persistence and confidence. Children foster these skills when educators

• Value children’s involvement in their learning.
• Encourage children to engage in learning process.
• Provide opportunities for children to extend on their ideas.
• Reflect on what and how the children have learned.
• Ask question through structural learning to get children to think on a deeper level.
