Children, who begin their education in a learning environment that is vibrant, purposeful, challenging and supportive, stand the best chance of developing into confident and successful learners. At Wonderland Day Nursery & Preschool we will ensure that through play your child will learn, grow and have fun.
The Early Years Foundation Stage is a quality framework that sets the standards for learning and development for children from birth to five. Our play-based curriculum covers all the areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) along with Development Matters, which guides our team in observing, assessing and supporting each child’s development and individual needs.
Our Babies and Toddlers (3 months – 2 years) observations and formative reports focus on the following areas:
Children will develop confidence in expressing themselves through a rich language environment and interactions.
Children will engage in activities that promote coordination, balance, and healthy eating, developing both fine and gross motor skills.
Children will gain confidence, respect for others, and the ability to manage feelings and appropriate behavior in group settings.
Our Preschoolers (3 years – 5 years) observations and formative reports focus on all 7 areas (both prime and specific):
Children will link sounds and letters to begin their reading journey by exploring a range of text, books and materials to spark their interest in words, language and storytelling.
Children will develop early numeracy skills, learning concepts involving numbers, measurements and shapes in engaging, hands-on activities.
Children will explore creativity through art, music, dance, and role-play, sharing their thoughts and ideas through various forms of expression.
Children will explore their environment and community, observing people, places, diversity in culture and the world of technology to understand society, earth and beyond.
We believe that children deserve the best possible start in life as they develop more rapidly during the first five years of their lives than at any other time. That’s why they are called the foundation years – the building blocks for life.
The goal of early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies, but rather to cultivate his/her own natural desire to learn and follow each individual child’s interests.
