At this
age the children are getting more independent and we encourage
self-motivation as a basis for learning within a stimulating environment,
developing and building on the children's curiosity, interest
and fascination with the world around them. Our daily activities
are planned in conjunction with Sure
Start: Birth to Three Matters.
We provide opportunities for learning
within a context which is meaningful to the child. We aim to enable
children to do things for themselves, have access to the resources
they need to develop confidence, a positive self-image, independence
and responsibility within a supportive and encouraging environment.
We build on the values that the child has learned at home and
involve parents in discussing, evaluating and contributing to
the curriculum.
Our popular activities include Music and Movement. This session is very popular with the children and includes singing and dancing along to their favourite songs, accompanied by the piano.
During the summer we have a Garden
party for our under 3s and parents and at Christmas parents are
invited to our Christmas party and concert.
