What do the Oppia play environments look and feel like:
Here at Oppia we work hard to ensure that our environments are reflective of our mission and values, and you will find:
Resources that are ethically sourced and open ended in their outcomes (with a strong focus on upcycling, repurposing and recycling)
Colour and sensory rich environments that engage all the senses through – smells, wall textures, live plants, comfortable lighting, interesting soft furnishings and appropriate noise levels.
Room set ups with clearly defined learning spaces that encourage individual, small group and large group participation
Visually rich learning with layered experiences to entice the children to participate
Age and stage appropriate equipment for the developmental needs of each child
Evidence of partnerships and ongoing collaborations between the children, staff and families
