Gaia's Nest

Child Care Canberra lists Gaia's Nest in Mornington, who continued to provide excellent After School Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Mornington Australia.

At Gaia's Nest we believe that children have the right to freedom,  respect, equality, happiness, fun, education, diversity and a safe, secure and purposeful environment.  They need to be loved and nurtured.  Our image of the child guides us to respectfully provide them with every opportunity to  succeed as the powerful and capable learners we believe they are and for them to develop according to their own uniqueness within an environment full of beauty, gifts, challenges and provocation.  We aim to delight the children as they explore their world and the natural wonders around them as they grow and learn through their play.  

Holistic, organic early childhood education and care. Set in a natural bush environment and guided by the philosophical approaches of Rudolf Steiner, Reggio Emilia and the principles and practices of Australia's Early Years Learning Framework, children spend their days engaging in nature together with educators who hold the highest image of them as capable and competent individuals.

Established in 2004 under the original name of Care Bears Cottage we have recently connected with a name that better reflects our beliefs, our environment and our pedagogy.
