Circles for Learning is a unique whole class inquiry-led Learning Journey that supports and strengthens learning skills alongside the development of social skills, emotional literacy and wellbeing.

It facilitates and encourages children to experience how learning happens and explore brain development, relationships and emotions. This includes how other people might feel or experience situations, aspects of bullying, child development and what it is like to be a parent.

Circles for Learning allows children of all ages to work with a Learning Guide and watch and interact with a mother and baby for 1 hour each month for a year.

This amazing experience allows children to experience early blocks for learning being laid down and developed. It allows time and space for children to observe the importance of relationships and attachment as well as brain development.

Through the observations and the skillful guidance of their Learning Guide children are able to watch learning unfold. They witness the importance of a safe secure relationship which enables a baby to be curious and explore the world. Watching a baby learn to move, manoeuvre a toy, crawl and finally walk and talk is an incredibly powerful thing.

Whilst doing this the Learning Guide is in a privileged position to help the children link what they see to their own learning.
