CHILDREN'S LEARNING

Children's Learning

OUR DAILY PROGRAMME

Our programme has a large focus on emotional and social maturity which supports children’s resilience in preparation for school and life. Our hands-on activities enhance their physical, social, emotional, spiritual, language, cognitive and creative areas of development.

The programme is planned each week, for both the two-day and three-day groups, based on staff observations of the children's readiness developmentally, information gained from parents, input from the children and the knowledge of our educators as to ‘what comes next’.

Our daily programme is flexible and planned to encourage the children to be active participants in a variety of learning experiences. Changes to the programme are made daily as the needs or interests of the children change.
