Children Learning Together
Teachers are trained and qualified. Teachers provide quality experiences and opportunities for children to learn and grow and to help them become confident and competent in their world. The programme is based on the early childhood and advanced education curriculum.
Some of our regional kindergarten associations explain:
- To grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.
- We encourage children to learn, play and explore… school is about developing while having fun.
- Whether playing in the sandpit, dressing up, climbing and jumping, solving a puzzle or painting a picture, your child will experience a wide range of activities at school, all of which provide valuable learning opportunities.
The belief in a child’s right to play is at the heart of all our programmes and although it might look like kids are ‘just playing’ our teachers are constantly providing new and challenging experiences, based on children’s interests, that will lead them into new areas of learning.
When your child is playing they feel safe to try new things and through practice develop skills and confidence. As they play at school they will learn to work alongside others – to share and cooperate, make friends and ask for help. They will also develop independence and essential learning skills such as concentration, perseverance, creativity and curiosity
