Pre-school Curriculum

 

Within the Pre-school, all children are supported in fulfilling their full potential at their own pace. We deliver a planned curriculum tailored to the needs of each individual child. This is delivered on a daily basis through appropriate play activities, and when needed, a high level of adult input.

Within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)  children progress through 3 Prime Areas of Learning and Development and 4 Specific Areas areas of Learning and Development.

Areas of Learning and Development

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Communication, Language
• Physical Development

Specific Areas

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

Play is a vital component of children’s lives, without which their potential for healthy, mental and physical development is undermined. Play helps children:

• Be whole people
• Be physically healthy
• Be physically co-ordinated
• Be mentally healthy
• Co-ordinate ideas
• Deal with feelings and relationships
