Explore

Step4 engages collaboratively with you and your team to
explore what success looks like for your new centre project.

  • We like to start every new centre project with a short exploratory
    session with one of our early learning experts, who will partner with you
    through the entire new centre process.
  • From this meeting, we acquire a solid understanding of your vision
    for your centre. What inspires you? How do you want your centre to
    be perceived? If you have a visual guide of the ‘look and feel’ you are
    striving for, or an inspiration style guide, this will allow us to gain a
    greater understanding of your vision.
  • Your pedagogical approach, values and teaching style are explored.
  • What are you most concerned about? This can include anything from
    budget, time frames, logistical barriers or resourcing.
  • Any other information you share about your new centre is welcomed.
    Room breakups, number of licensed places and floor plan layouts are
    all part of the process.
  • Project success relies on our ability to listen and learn during this stage.
