The Josiah Way emphasizes Montessori principles that prioritize independence, freedom within limits, and respect for each child's social development. Group activities and music are integrated into learning to support social-emotional learning as part of everyday practice. The Musical Arts Programme (MAP) is a school-led framework of five elements that fosters self-management and social awareness in Josiah students. The Nursery experience includes social maturity and emotional regulation as learning outcomes. English and Mandarin bilingual immersion supports daily social communication and collaboration in classrooms, contributing to SEL.
Josiah Care is described as an inclusive program within Josiah centres that recognises learning or developmental disabilities (LDD) and provides targeted support. It facilitates early intervention and bridges gaps for families with children with LDD to ensure timely assessment and support. The school's core values emphasize Inclusivity and total care and protection for all children. The program operates within Josiah centres rather than as a separate specialist SEN facility. The kinds of needs supported include learning or developmental disabilities (LDD).

Language development is integrated within Montessori and MAP activities throughout the curriculum.
