CORE VALUES
Here at Science Minded, we operate with a few basic principles in mind.These values are at the core of who we are and what we do.
Expertise
Openness
We acknowledge that YOU are the expert in your child. We know that you understand things about your child on an instinctive level - even in ways you might not be able to explain.
We believe your EXPERTISE is to be respected and celebrated.
​
We believe in approaching life (& parenting) with OPENNESS. By making sure we're open to new ideas and different perspectives, we allow ourselves to continually learn, change and grow.
One Size
Judgement
​We recognise that when it comes to children (and everything in life!) - ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. What works for one child might not work for another & what works one week, might not work next week!
When it comes to development, the only constant is change.
​
We fully embrace a ZERO JUDGEMENT attitude. Parenthood is a tough gig! We all make choices, that might not be the fit right for others (because one size doesn't fit all!) and that's okay.
We support and embrace everyone's right to do what works for them and their family.
