In Kindergarten we welcome the children to the next phase of their learning after Nursery. Our main focus is on every child being happy and ready to learn.
The children’s previous experiences whether at home, in Nursery or indeed other educational settings are all an important basis for us to build upon and enable all the children to progress and develop to the best of their potential.
The children’s personal, social and emotional development is vital as it impacts on all areas of their lives. This provides a sound foundation for success in learning. The Kindergarten class offers a safe, secure, supportive and caring environment, which is vital for children to maximise their all round development.
The children are offered a range of experiences and opportunities through active learning. The children learn through play and investigation. They are encouraged to talk, observe, plan, question, investigate and explore, through a variety of activities which are continually adapted to suit learning needs and styles.
Through using the classroom and outdoor environments children learn and develop their skills, knowledge and understanding. The children are encouraged to talk, discuss and share their learning experiences. They are offered stimulating and exciting learning opportunities where they learn as a class, in groups, or as individuals. Children are treated as individuals and learn at their own level and pace to achieve their full potential. Each child is encouraged to be as independent as possible and to become confident in their own abilities.
We have high expectations of what the children can achieve.
