Children learn most readily through their interactions with the physical and social environment. Our program seeks to help children understand the environments that continually influence their lives. Children also vary greatly in their needs and wants according to their stage of development. We recognise and cater for these needs so that your child can develop to their full potential.
The weekly program incorporates educational objectives, consideration for the individual child's strengths and interests within the contexts of a group and covers all areas of the child's development; fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, social, emotional and language.
We encourage the children to be independent by being responsible for their own actions, co-operating with peers and staff and making their own choices between activities offered.
Each child will be treated as an equal participant of our society. Therefore, children will be taught to respect differences in cultures, using books, music, songs, cooking activities, craft, multicultural dolls, multicultural jigsaws, etc.
Children with additional needs face a greater challenge in learning and social environments. The program will provide opportunities for children with additional needs to be involved in a mainstream program, as well as obtain the advantages of an individualised program.
