Curriculum at Ide Hill Pre-School
Children start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by Ide Hill Pre-school helps children to continue to do this by providing all the children with interesting activities that are right for their age and stage of development.
Children are introduced into the learning environment by means of play and a curriculum is tailor made for the individual child. The curriculum is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Areas of Learning
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication, Language and Literacy
Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
Knowledge and Understanding of the World
Physical Development
Creative Development
Play helps young children to learn and develop through doing and talking, which research has shown to be the means by which young children think. Ide Hill Pre-school uses the EYFS to plan and provide a range of play activities which helps children to make progress in each of the areas of learning and development. In some of these activities children decide how they will use the activity and in others an adult takes the lead in helping the children to take part in the activity. In all activities information from the EYFS has been used to decide which equipment to provide and how to provide it.
If you would like to join us for a session, please add your name to our parent rota (available from February 2011) or come in and read a story/bake/craft/sing with the children, you will always be made very welcome.
