CURRICULUM

​

We believe that the very early years are critical for the optimal brain growth and overall development and that your child deserves nurturing care and education to help him/her to flourish in a safe, healthy and educationally enriched environment.

  

To do this we keep our adult: child ratios low in the baby and toddler classes so that staff are able to provide individualised care and attention to each child which results in strong emotional attachments between child and staff. 

​

We have a dedicated baby curriculum (ages 3 months to 12 months) through which staff do a variety of daily activities with each child. Over a five-day period, the curriculum covers fine motor activities, large motor and baby exercise activities, baby massage, looking at books, cognitive activities and sensory activities appropriate to the age, interest and development of your child. 

 These provide the basic foundations for the other skills developed in the next 4 years.

​

Young toddlers (1-2-year old) are new walkers and use these fast-improving motor skills to explore the world.  This is a time when we help them learn how to live with others, begin sharing and become increasingly independent and competent with everyday tasks.  In the toddler class there is an emphasis on talking to each child, looking at books, learning rhymes and songs and reading stories to improve their language.  We provide many opportunities to improve movement (gross motor) and manipulative (fine-motor) skills through the child’s playful multi-sensory exploration of the environment.
