Arcadia Agile Learning Center
At Arcadia, we believe passion and fun should be the foundation for a healthy learning experience. Our nurturing environment is reinforced by providing a gentle approach and respecting children's rights and autonomy. We provide a flexible play-based structure for children, allowing them to follow their natural curiosity in both their own self-directed projects and in guided activities provided by our education qualified staff. Arcadia borrows the best aspects from a variety of philosophies such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Steiner and Waldorf without adhering strictly to one tenancy. We encourage exploration of dynamic learning opportunities around their passions. Our mixed age environment allows children to expand their social skills and learn group dynamics in a safe environment where parents are welcome to stay or leave as they please. In providing a safe space for teaching risk assessment we allow the children to experience supervised "risky" play.
Please note that we are a homeschool co-op, not a school. To ensure parents are compliant with the Queensland Education Act we have limited attendance to a maximum of 3 days, ensuring that the majority of the children's education is still done with the parents as required by The Home Education Department. However we do aim to document our activities and highlight their the educational components to assist parents in providing evidence for their homeschool reporting, or for parents to use as a jumping off point for further investigation.
