Pre-schoolers and young children
Programmes for this age group are about preparing them for primary school and the new environment they will enter. All children learn in unique ways and develop at different ages. In this group we again design individual programmes to help children learn in the way that is best for them, at their own pace and in their own time.
Learning is still centred on play; however we do introduce some new experiences that help children’s transition to school. Children are encouraged during the transition programme to take responsibility for their belongings, learn to manage a lunchbox and it’s contents, engage in mat time and develop the foundation skills necessary for them to be able to read and write when they get to school. The school environment will be very unfamiliar so our transition programme aims to make children comfortable with the new things they might encounter so they are well prepared for the next step in their learning journey.
All teachers regularly revise their professional development to ensure we offer stimulating programmes for children.
