We believe in… 

• Children as purposeful, powerful, inspiring and intelligent human beings now, not just preparing for becoming adults.

• The importance of nurturing children's innate creativity from birth.

• The transformations in all areas of learning that can happen through inspiring cultural and creative environments.

• The power of collaborating with artists to spark ideas that augment children's own artistic expertise.

• Empowering educators to have confidence in their own imagination and creative skills.

• The important role of families in supporting the processes of being and becoming through creative play.

• The importance of ethical research and quality in all creative practice.

• Our collective and individual responsibility to help children develop their confidence, curiosity, expression, mental and physical health and happiness and enable excellent creative practice to become second nature in all schools and homes.
