🌿 Our Philosophy

We are a Forest School.
And that changes everything.

At The Chrysalis we teach children in small, intimate groups so we can optimise their learning experiences, allowing them to work at their pace, with their natural learning styles. We believe in child-centred learning and fostering pupil-to-pupil relationships, teamwork, and strong teacher-to-pupil bonds. The theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner underpins everything we do.

Learning by Doing

Children learn by experimenting and observing. They touch, feel, listen, taste and climb — never confined to four walls.

🌿

Forest School

Children have several experiences in natural environments, learning about plants, animals, and what they need to survive.

🏠

Home School Approach

Small, intimate groups allow us to optimise every child's learning experience and let them work at their own natural pace.

🧠

Multiple Intelligences

We recognise that every child learns differently and with the right support, all children can achieve beyond expectations.

🧩

Learning Support

We support children with ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger's and more — working alongside specialists for the best outcomes.

🌍

World Changers

We raise children who love God, love people, and are groomed to be positive influencers, forward thinkers, and world changers.

About Us

A school where children love to learn.

At The Chrysalis Early Childhood School, we have created a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child is celebrated for who they are. Our forest school philosophy means children spend time outdoors, connect with nature, and develop confidence through real-world experiences.

From our crèche for babies all the way through to primary school — and including our flexible homeschooling support — we provide a continuum of education rooted in joy, curiosity, and excellence.

🎯
Our Mission

To create a safe and stimulating environment, where different learners thrive and are inspired to explore, learn, create and be who God made them to be.

🌟
Our Vision

To raise kind children who love God and are groomed to become voracious explorers, forward thinkers, creative problem solvers and world changers.
