Mindstretch News – Building Bright Futures

Welcome to Mindstretch 2025! There’ was magic in the air as our children returned to school, each one brimming with potential. We’re excited to share what’s new and wonderful at Mindstretch.

Nurturing our Learner's Growth

Meet PEA, Our New Sweetpea Approach: We’re excited to introduce PEA – Pause │ Engage │ Act. This simple yet powerful method ensures our teachers connect meaningfully with each child:

  • Pause to enter the child’s world
  • Engage at their eye level, in their personal space
  • Act with understanding and purpose
