We hope this website will help you to understand the aims and general operation of our Pre-School setting, although we realise that no website can fully take the place of an informal visit to watch us in full swing. You are more than welcome to arrange to visit us during any of our sessions.
Aims & Objectives
We aim to provide your child with a safe, caring and stimulating environment for all aspects of their physical and mental growth.
We recognise that all children are different and we understand each child is an individual and cater for their particular needs.
We aim to help each child develop social skills by encouraging co-operation with peers and members of staff, helping them to become more aware of the needs of others. We provide the means for children to be creative with the use of different media – water, sand, creative modelling, paint and collage. Together with the use of drawing equipment, construction toys, puzzles and games, the children develop their manual dexterity and explore their creative skills.
We encourage concentration and listening skills through storytelling, music and movement and we provide the means and opportunity for physical play to develop co-ordination, social interaction and motor skills.
We believe that all children engage in role-play to some extent and have particular sessions devoted to dressing up, the home corner and make-believe toys.
We aim to provide at least one structured activity each session, and the results are often used as part of our ever-changing display board, but they also serve to show the children that their efforts are hugely appreciated.
