Wellbeing and comfort: what it means for your child
Across every room, we follow flexible sleep, rest and relaxation practices. Children may sleep early, join a later rest group, use candle meditation, hammocks or quiet play, especially children with additional needs, with peers supporting co-regulation. Families share changing routines and preferences daily. For your family, this means your child's comfort, rest, emotions and individual rhythms are treated as essential parts of learning. Talk with our team about how we protect and support your child's health, safety and wellbeing.
