A Message from Our Director
All parents aim for their children to be given the greatest opportunity to grow into healthy, intelligent and useful members of society. Early childhood education has an integral part in the development of a human being, which Fuji International Kindergarten Specialises in.
At Fuji International Kindergarten, we ensure that the time your child stays with us, will be happy, successful and rewarding, both for yourself and your child. We believe this can best be achieved through the co-operation of parents and teachers, working together for the benefit of the children.
Fuji International Kindergarten recognises and values the contributions children and their families make to centere life by virtue of their background, insights, individual expressions and needs.
All staff work with children to effect worthwhile and significant outcomes from child centered and familial initiatives. The strength of the program lies in an integral free-flow approach to learning (i.e. that knowledge is linked to exploration, enquiry, investigation, experimentation, discovery, evaluation and recording. Knowledge is not acquired in isolation nor is it derived from an adult-directed focus in a structured context). Planning considers personal well-being and the provision of developmentally appropriate educational and life skill experiences within an aesthetically pleasing, harmonious environment.
Staff and management are advocates for the right of children to an 'unhurried childhood', free from academic pressure. In addition, that they are the beneficiaries of an anti-bias curriculum which endorses access, equity and maintenance of a child's first language.
Support of cultural values and respect for the diversity of families is at the heart of Fuji's beliefs and practices.
