PRE-SCHOOL DAY CARE
3 - 5 years
Your
child will be one of twenty six children cared for in this room. We offer
Nursery Education for the 3 - 4 year olds in preparation for them starting
school and also wrap around care for those children who start school part-time.
This includes transportation to and from school.
The curriculum that is provided for the children follows the foundation stage and has
six areas of learning. Each area includes several aspects of learning that are
broken down as follows:
| Personal,
Social and Emotional Development
Dispositions and attitudes, self-confidence and
self-esteem, making relationshiops, behaviour and self control, self-care and
sense of the community.

linking sounds and letters, reading, writing and handwriting.

We firmly believe in learning through play and
specific areas of the room are set out to give the children freedom of choice
in the activities they do, which cover some if not all of the learning
intentions. |
