We believe that children are competent, powerful individuals, capable of influencing their own unique learning journey. At the YMCA, we believe in the ‘power of inspired young people’ – the belief that when young people are inspired, they are truly powerful.
This belief underpins everything we do and stand for at the YMCA and is also core to our learning philosophy.
We agree that education is a fundamental human right which is essential to inspiring young people to realise their full potential in life. We believe that children are competent, powerful individuals, capable of influencing their own unique learning journey.
Our educators observe children’s individual learning styles, taking into account the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of every child so that we can adapt our learning approach to meet their individual needs.
This is possible through building rich and meaningful relationships with children and families that are built on trust, care and two-way learning, so that children are inspired to thrive in their own way.
