Cultivating humans who flourish.
A Drop-off Centre for creativity and human development, founded in nature. Children learn through direct experience, real projects and a community that knows them.
Our philosophy
Children who know themselves change everything.
Our centre creates the conditions for children to understand who they are, learn to live well with others and make something genuinely useful in the world.
What we value
Values are how our philosophy becomes a daily practice.
At Living Tapestry our learning approach is underpinned by our uncompromised core values.
1.Belonging
Every child and family is seen, understood and welcomed, with their individuality valued.
2.Curiosity
Questions open the way to wonder, exploration and deeper understanding.
3.Creativity
Imagination helps us express, solve problems and bring new possibilities into being.
4.Connection
Learning flourishes through relationship with self, others, nature and community.
5.Courage
Children are encouraged to experiment, speak their truth and treat mistakes as threads in the learning journey.
6.Contribution
Every person has something of value to offer; children flourish as capable contributors.
7.Kindness
Empathy, integrity and respect ensure that capability is woven together with humanity.
8.Stewardship
We cultivate care for one another, our communities and the living world we share.
What do they learn?
Three directions. One child.
Everything at Living Tapestry expands outward from the child. Self first. Then relationships. Then the world.
Relational Intelligence
Communication, listening, empathy, collaboration, leadership and belonging.
Purposeful Contribution
Entrepreneurship, innovation, environmental stewardship, community service and real-world making.
What do you get?
A place to grow through head, heart and hands.
At Living Tapestry, children grow and learn within an intergenerational community. They question, create, decide and solve problems through conversation, deep listening, practical action and the right people and resources. Along the way, they develop critical thinking, collaboration, financial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset for life.
