Our Learning Philosophy
Learning happens through our daily experiences and is reinforced by our relationships and interactions with one another. nurture’s Life Skills Matrix focuses on skills both you and your child can practice everyday. We believe that these 21st Century life skills will help your child navigate both the opportunities and challenges of our times.
At the core of nurture is intergenerational learning. We’ve structured our Immersive Learning Platform to be fun, engaging, and to strengthen relationships between children and their parents. By engaging in nurture’s Family Adventures together, you will build a sense of curiosity, collaboration, and adaptability that are essential for our ever evolving society. These adventures are designed with the following four principles.

Nurturing future-ready humans
To prepare our children for a creative and resilient life, we aim to foster openness and resourcefulness in children through engaging, appropriately challenging media. With this in mind, we developed our learning philosophy with these principles.
1. Context through stories
We’ve adopted animated stories as a medium to help your children understand life skills in relatable and exciting contexts. Children learn best when they know why. Without context, learning becomes boring and pointless.
2. Practice through games
Our games pull you into the story, empowering you to solve challenges and practice life skills together. Through play, both children and adults learn to take risks, iterate on their ideas, and persevere.
3. Bond through shared moments
Through co-operative activities and facilitation questions to engage your children in deeper reflection, we provide security between children and their parents, driving life long returns in learning, health, and self-esteem for children.
4. Learn through curiosity
Learning is structured to help children understand how to approach new topics with curiosity, and draw connections to their existing knowledge. By cultivating intrinsic motivation, you can help your child develop the agency to love learning and learn how to learn.
The Role of Parents in Learning
The Three nurture Parent Pillars
The parent-child bond is the foundation for everything. It is the essence of the child’s relationship building and the soil from which the child becomes nurtured.
We believe that parents grow and evolve as our children grow and evolve. Parenting is a lifelong process of listening, learning, and growing.
Parents are the mirrors through which our children will develop their relationships to themselves and to the world around them. children mirror what we do, how we act and what we say.
What can we expect of parents in their learning process at nurture?
At nurture, we believe that a parent’s involvement within their children’s learning journey is one of the most impactful determinants of that child’s learning trajectory.
