Curiosity Cabin

The Curiosity Cabin is a

quiet space used by the

preschool room for up to

eight children. It gives the

children a place to explore

natural objects or obsolete

items that they might not

have seen before. This

promotes curiosity,

discovery and investigation. We encourage the

children to become

independent learners

and they have the

freedom to play with

the resources and

loose parts, however

they choose.

If a child can hold a pencil, write their name,
count to 100 and recognise all the colours and
shapes but doesn't know how to make friends or

manage their emotions and can't resolve or
reflect on conflict, is not independent and does

not have self-help skills then the pencil will
remain unwritten with, the numbers uncounted and
the colours and shapes unrecognised…
