Holistic Education Philosophy

Little Footprints believes that every child thrives through connection — connection with the community, with nature, and with human values such as empathy, compassion and peace. The school aims to help children find meaning, purpose and confidence while building strong character foundations.

Six Essential Skills

We focus strongly on 6 core 21st-century learning skills:

• Critical Thinking: viewing problems from multiple angles and connecting learning across subjects.
• Creativity: trying new ideas, innovating and solving problems.
• Communication: expressing thoughts, questions and solutions clearly.
• Choice: developing logical decision-making and independence.
