At Wonderwhiz Academy, we proudly use the Experience curriculum, professionally developed since four decades ago. Rooted in discovery and creativity, our curriculum weaves together 33 essential skills through engaging, play-based activities and hands-on exploration.

Each day, your child will embark on a journey of learning through playful games, imaginative storytelling, and interactive discovery projects. This approach ensures that children build a strong foundation across key developmental domains, including literacy, math, science, social skills, and creative arts.

Our curriculum isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s about fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. By integrating these elements into fun and meaningful experiences, we create an environment where every child feels empowered to explore, experiment, and grow.

Explore the magic of learning at Wonderwhiz Academy, where play meets purpose, and children thrive!

Reggio-Inspired Approach

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an educational philosophy that emphasizes the potential and rights of children, viewing them as active participants in their learning journeys. Central to this approach is the belief that children possess "a hundred languages"—a multitude of ways to think, express, and understand the world. This perspective encourages the integration of various experiences, fostering holistic development.

Key principles include:

Active Participation: Children engage in continuous exchanges with their cultural and social environments, constructing meaningful experiences both individually and collectively.
The Hundred Languages: Recognizing and valuing the diverse modes of expression children use to interact with their surroundings, ensuring all forms of communication are honored.
Collaborative Learning: Emphasizing group interactions, where learning is viewed as a shared journey, promoting discussion, exchange, and collective growth.
Educational Research: Encouraging both children and educators to adopt a research-oriented mindset, fostering curiosity and continuous renewal in educational practices.
Documentation: Making learning processes visible and assessable, turning individual and group experiences into shared knowledge.
Intentional Design: Thoughtfully planning educational activities, environments, and participation to support and enhance the learning experience.
Environment as Educator: Designing interconnected indoor and outdoor spaces that serve as dynamic settings for communal living and exploration, adapting to the evolving projects and experiences of children and adults.

By embracing these values, educational settings become vibrant communities where children, educators, and families collaborate, fostering a culture of solidarity, responsibility, and inclusion. This approach not only nurtures individual growth but also contributes to the collective well-being and cultural richness of the community.
