inclusion
Simply put, discrimination is unlawful and not in keeping with the aims and values of Gordon Park ELC. We are a welcoming and inclusive group, exclusion has no place in our group.
learning through play
Learning through Play has been at the core of how we do things since Gordon Park ELC was founded. It is fundamental to who we are and it helps our children to make sense of the world around them. Through play, children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments.
