Our classes
Our focus is on establishing good attachment relationships so crucial to the wellbeing and development of this age group. We ensure that the classroom is a safe, secure and calm environment. Within this we provide children with a range of stimuli for all the senses to encourage them to explore their world. Our teachers provide children with a range of age and stage appropriate activities to challenge their educational development, with focus on language development and physical development.
The children enjoy free and guided play, art and music and messy play. WE will work closely with parents and carers to follow nap and food schedules and ensure a smooth transition from home.
