Teaching
Teaching in Cygnets is playful, purposeful, and tailored to each child. We balance high expectations with deep care, supporting children to explore, take risks, and shine in their own time. Positive relationships and high-quality interactions are central to our approach, ensuring every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.
