What will children learn?
How does our program work and what will the children learn?
We believe children learn best through play!
Our curriculum is based on each child's observed interests and perceived individual needs. Our daily programed experiences are play based and will engage children in individual, small group and larger group experiences.
Play experiences are intrinsically motivating, guided by children, engaging and meaningful to children. It is also a great tool for learning!
The skills they are practising and learning are essential in developing the necessary social skills for school readiness, and designed in context to foster all areas of their development. The programme enhances your child’s socialisation skills, confidence and self esteem, whilst all other areas of development are enhanced through utilisation of our equipment, resources and programming.
