Kennedy House philosophy translates into child-centred teaching practice. Each child is given the freedom and opportunity for discovery and growth in all areas of development - intellectual, physical, emotional, social and creative Children are trusted and encouraged to reveal their own needs and these are valued and acted upon in the educational context.
To this end, class sizes are kept low and children are able to develop warm and trusting relationships with their teachers. Class groups are arranged chronologically with an age range of approximately 1 to 2 years in each.

At Kennedy House, individuality, creativity and spontaneity are valued highly. Free play is an essential ingredient of development and learning. Children have the opportunity to feel control and competence in their world and experiment with things around them during play.
During play, children can choose to participate at a level that is suitable to them. Play also provides opportunities for observation, assessment, planning and for individual attention.
