At Story House Early Learning, we make learning exciting! Our inquiry-based curriculum, enriched with purposeful play, helps children develop essential skills while having fun exploring the world around them.
What Is Inquiry-Based Learning?
Instead of just receiving information, children take the lead – asking questions, investigating ideas, and making discoveries. This hands-on approach builds critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills while sparking a lifelong love of learning.
Purposeful Play: More Than Just Fun
Play is how children make sense of the world. It strengthens communication, teamwork, and creativity while helping them navigate emotions and challenges. Our inquiry-based approach encourages curiosity, confidence, and resilience – essential skills for life.
Project-Based Learning: Hands-On Discovery
Children learn best by doing! Through real-life projects, they research, plan, collaborate, and problem-solve. Some exciting projects may include:
- Growing a vegetable garden
- Exploring weather and seasons
- Designing and constructing a mini city
- Investigating animal habitats
These activities make learning meaningful and connect children to the world around them.
Key Skills Developed:
- Critical Thinking – Asking questions and solving problems
- Creativity – Exploring new ideas and thinking independently
- Social Skills – Communicating and collaborating with others
- Confidence – Building independence and self-belief
How We Support These Skills at Story House Early Learning
Our educators create engaging, hands-on experiences that build these essential skills while making learning fun and meaningful.
Example: Instead of teaching about plants from a book, we take children outside to plant seeds, observe growth, and discuss what plants need to thrive. This interactive approach fosters a deeper understanding and excitement for learning!
Supporting Learning at Home
Parents play a vital role in nurturing curiosity. You can support your child’s learning by:
- Asking open-ended questions
- Encouraging decision-making and independence
- Engaging in creative activities
- Solving problems together
- Reflecting on daily experiences

Through socialisation, emotional regulation, and resilience-building activities, along with mindfulness and nutrition programs, we empower children to thrive.
At Story House Early Learning, we embrace curiosity, exploration, and play – helping children grow into confident, capable learners!
