Our Aims
Our Aims are for all children to be encouraged to be themselves and to:
-
Grow in self-confidence, experience success and thus develop a good self-image
-
Develop at their own rate through challenging, progressive play
-
Learn to play co-operatively and share with others
-
Communicate thoughts, ideas and feelings clearly to both adults and children
-
Deepen and lengthen concentration through their natural spontaneous curiosity and interests
-
Choose and explore a wide range of materials which allow them to express themselves
appropriately and creatively
-
Share in the wonder and excitement created by books, stories, songs, rhymes, music and
the natural environment
-
Appreciate and practice social skills and learning to care for others
-
Enjoy the satisfaction of work well done and share this with their parents
Our Values
-
Young children are entitled to their childhood
-
All children are treated equally
-
As well as the primary needs, the need for acceptance, love, approval, encouragement and security are crucial to the development of the young child and to the promotion of a good self-image
-
Parents are valued as their children’s first educators and are viewed as active partners of
the preschool staff
-
It is in the nature of the young child to be active. Purposeful and structured play is vital to all aspects of his/her development
-
The child's past experiences, individual attributes and abilities should be recognised,
accepted and built upon
