Preschool

From the age of 3 years and two months children follow the curriculum of, the kindergarten programme. Staff plan and set out activities which provide quality play opportunities for learning in areas – Mathematical, Physical Development, Knowledge & Understanding of the World, Personal, Social & Well-being, Language & Literacy, Multi Cultural Understanding and Creative Development. These areas are considered to be the essential foundation for children’s education.

Staff plan activities which give plentiful opportunities for quality play, then children choose which activities they want to take part in.  Naturally, key workers are on hand to extend children’s games, helping them integrate self expression and imagination into their play.  Key workers also ensure that paints, pencils and other creative materials are always readily accessible so that they can help children develop good writing skills.

All children are encouraged to behave well and show consideration for others.  They learn to follow instructions and keep to a routine, while still developing their independence.  Our mission is to ensure that every child is happy and well-cared for; we want them to leave us confident and ready for primary.
