Welcome to Historical Canterbury Shaker Village, where we transform our beautiful surroundings into a nature classroom! In our multi-age setting, children lead their own learning through, exploring and discovering at their own pace. Our dedicated teachers act as co-learners, guiding and supporting each child’s unique journey. Together, we foster a love for nature and learning in a collaborative and joyful atmosphere!
​
Creating a learning environment with limited interruptions allows children to dive deep into their work, fostering exploration and creativity. By respecting their focus, we encourage curiosity and a genuine love for learning. It's essential to shift the flow as, adapting to the needs of each child for optimal growth and engagement.
Our time is ish-time allowing for shift in our day as needed!​
