provision for the different starting points from which children develop their learning -- building and expanding on their prior knowledge / on what they can already do;
relevant and appropriate content that matches the different levels of young children’s needs;
planned and purposeful play & activity that provides opportunities for teaching and learning.There are opportunities for children to engage in activities planned by adults and also those that they plan or initiate themselves. Children do not make a distinction between ‘play’ and ‘work’ and neither do our Facilitators.
Our Facilitators are trained to observe and respond appropriately to children, equipped with knowledge of how children develop, learn and react and a clear understanding of possible next steps in their development and learning.
For children to have rich and stimulating experiences, the learning environment is well planned and well organised. It provides the structure / platform for teaching within which children explore, experiment, plan and make decisions for themselves.
Our prime concerns will be On personal, social and emotional well-being On positive attitudes and dispositions towards learning On social skills
On attention skills and persistence On language and communication |
On reading and writing
On knowledge and understanding of the world / environment On physical development On creative development On mathematical analysis/ Numeric skills and sequencing |
