Education
At Keeley's, we're proud to be embarking on implementing The Curiosity Approach in our nurseries. This innovative and inspirational approach to Early Childhood Education is underpinned by the Early Years Foundation Stage and takes lessons from a number of earlier education methods, including Reggio, Steiner, Te Whariki, and Montessori.
