      About Us

      Woodlands Vision & Mission

      "To plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit – education for life" 

       

      Vision

      Plant Trees - When you “plant trees” you passionately understand that the little, well-planned and guided experiences you offer children now will grow into lifelong attitudes, skills and behaviours – “the shade.” Most probably you will not be around to see your work mature, but continue to work with children and their families because you see the greater good and the bigger picture for them and our world. 

      Education for Life - An education which empowers children to thrive and succeed in their current and then future environments.

       

      Mission

      To surround children and their families with knowledge to thrive and be active members of their community.
