Curriculum

Gaining confidence through play

Our curriculums are goals and plans for the children to acquire skills, knowledge and confidence through carefully designed activities and play and routine opportunities throughout the day. Our curriculums are planned from the child’s perspective.

Our skilled educators spend time getting to know each child and family by firstly forming attachments and relationships, then plan a curriculum based on the child’s interests, strength and development. We use the standards of the Early Years Learning Framework, and the National Quality Standards to guide our practice.

Everyday Learning

Is planned for the indoor and outdoor environments. We believe both areas are equally important and require thoughtfully planned environments and experiences.  Our everyday curriculums cover areas such as physically active play, dramatic play, construction and loose parts play. These experiences are offered over the fortnight, as we believe children need time to practice skills, and then areas are updated/extended or changed into new spaces based on the children’s responses.

Arts and Crafts

We value the arts and implement a rich arts curriculum based on Rhoda Kellogg’s ‘Stages of Artistic Development’.  Our Arts and Crafts curriculum allow the children to experiment, be creative and to express themselves in their own unique way. This can take many forms, from traditional expressions like painting and drawing, to other hands-on methods like building and designing.

Storytelling

Our Storytelling curriculum has a focus on children’s’ vocabulary and pre-literacy skills.  We aim to provide stories that are interesting, fun and important for the children that contains sequencing, rhymes, and strong characters. Each story is told for a fortnight to allow the children to learn and comprehend new words, recall events, recite the story and ultimately to fall in love with reading and storytelling.
