A Wellington College Early Years education is defined by an environment that is free to the unlimited possibilities of curiosity, imagination, and potential. It is open, free-flowing, authentic, yet familiar and welcoming, valuing the child as strong, capable and resilient, rich with appreciation and knowledge. Understanding the children's interests and providing an authentic responsive environment for exploration and experimentation is one of the focal points of the college’s pedagogy. Presenting the Wellington environment as the ‘third teacher’ is positioned so that it cultivates individuals who are capable of relating both to themselves and to the natural world they live in, fundamental skills for living in modern-day India. We also know that these inspiring yet cosy environments allow our children to establish high wellbeing alongside deep levels of involvement in what is provided. This, in our experience, leads to the maximum conditions for learning and progress of each and every child.
