Encouraging creativity, experimentation and scientific thinking.
Wonder
The friendly star
Meet Wonder
A friendly star who travels alongside every child
Wonder asks questions, encourages exploration and celebrates discoveries. Whenever children see Wonder, they know it is time to:
Explore something new
Ask a question
Solve a problem
Imagine possibilities
Share their ideas
Wonder helps children understand that every question matters, and every discovery is valuable.
The Wonder prompts
Three questions our educators return to again and again, each doing a different kind of work.
“I wonder how we can solve this…”
Developing resilience, collaboration and problem-solving.
“I wonder why this feels different…”
Supporting sensory exploration, reflection and emotional understanding.
