Educational Goals
0-2 year olds
At this age children are exploring and establishing their sense of themselves as individuals.
They have already experienced a huge amount of learning and development in the first two years.
Language takes many leaps forward, and children enjoy making strides in personal, social and emotional development, together with an increase in their understanding of the world around them.
Activities are planned according to children’s individual needs, balancing their need for routine and security with their desire for an increase in curiosity and exploration.
2-3 year olds and over
There is a structured routine to help them prepare for nursery school.
All activities are planned in advanced to ensure all areas are covered and they are progressing from one phase to the other.
The children take part in lots of activities of cutting, sticking, painting, dancing and story telling etc. This ensures they have an action packed fun filled day.
In the pre-school years children’s concentration increases and they are ready to respond to the challenge of teamwork and group activities. Our priority is to make learning a fun exciting and enjoyable experience.
Our extensive range of educational equipment and toys are chosen to develop language, intellect, imagination, emotional, physical and social skills.
Our Pre-school education incorporates the Foundation Phase 7 areas of learning. These are as follow:
- Personal and Social Development, Well-Being and Cultural Diversity
- Language and Literacy and Communication skills.
- Mathematical Development.
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
- Physical Development
- Creative Development.
- Welsh Development
We work towards and include all of these as part of the Foundation Phase planning. We do topic planning for the year and on a monthly, weekly and daily basis. This ensures each child covers all areas of development and makes good progress.
