Children

The nurturing and education of the children at Khula Dhamma receives careful consideration.
As a community we honour the autonomy of the family unit and we respect and support each family in their decisions with regard to their children's education.
We commit as a community to help with schooling by providing facilities such as school rooms, teachers, materials and equipment.
We endeavour to create a learning environment for the children which is loving and child-centred and organised around the developmental needs and interests of each child.
We recognise that learning does not only take place in the classroom but takes place naturally all day, in an integrated way. This means that we are open to creating a space to allow children to involve themselves in the many activities taking place within the community.
We are clear and consistent about behavioural boundaries and offer structure and routine as and when needed.
It is our desire to integrate mindfulness and self-awareness into the life of each child.
We ensure that there is ample time devoted to fun and games with our children, and allowing them to remind us how to play!

May we have the privilege to witness and nurture our children’s
inherent curiosity for learning, their playfulness,
their freedom of expression and their creative imagination.
