"Creativity and Cognitive processes of Children"
Creativity becomes more visible when adults try to be more attentive to the cognitive processes of children than to the results they achieve in various fields of doing and understanding.
"The Child has a Hundred Languages"
"Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible. No one can do more." - Loris Malaguzzi"

Welcome to Peter Pan Childcare
Peter Pan Childcare Centre is a purpose-built early learning centre that provides education and care for children aged between 3 months and 5 years old. Although children are separated by age groups, there is flexibility in our routines that allow children to visit other classrooms throughout the day.
Our curriculum is based on the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching and learning. This approach proposes that we teach children how to learn rather than fill their heads with knowledge that may or may not be useful in the future.

"I have tried so many other daycare before Peter Pan but I must say enrolling my child at Peter Pan is the best thing that I could have done for my daughter".
Meet Mum Helen
"Just to say I love receiving these daily diaries - it is fantastic to be able to see what Oliver has been doing during the day and it helps me have conversations with him over dinner and in the evening. Thank you for taking the time to put these together, really appreciate the effort and the amazing work the teachers do. Oliver is very lucky to attend such a wonderful childcare centre!"
