The Purple Dragon approach is rooted in tried and tested child education research and overlaid with emerging neuroscience and new education research into how children learn, develop and thrive. The Harvard University Centre on the Developing Child asserts that the first 5 years of a child’s life are crucial to healthy brain development AND that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to learning something new, unless the learning takes place via play in which case it only takes 10-20 repetitions!  This knowledge, based on in-depth research by our founders, has been curated to create an optimised environment for children to become resilient, motivated, lifelong learners, and to maximise the vital early years development opportunity, with the aim of preparing children for primary school and beyond.
