The nurture programme and its components are based on the enquiry and discovery approach to learning. Learners find it easier to understand and recall information that is imparted through the exploration of themes rather than through traditional academic curricula which rely on rote. It focusses on the development of the whole child and not solely on academics. Nurture is therefore not just a series but a comprehensive programme that is embedded in research and focusses on developing and enhancing skills during the crucial pre-primary years.
