Lou’s aim is to provide a friendly, caring and educational environment for everyone. There are four central beliefs that underpin Lou's teaching. These are:
That the learning environment should reflect her respect for the values and beliefs of others.
When teaching children, she values their uniqueness and nurtures their development, realising that each child develops skills at their own pace.
Providing varied experiences that allow for experimentation and discovery of new skills.
Fostering children’s growth towards independence, which includes the development of confidence and abilities in the aquatic environment
