Our curriculum area encompasses a wide spectrum of topics which include learning about ourselves, our immediate environment (school, home and community) and the wider world in which we live. Science, history, technology, environmental issues and cultural awareness are all part of this area and are made even more exciting by including art, music, reading and drama.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

The overall physical development of the children is important. This includes developing body control, strength, manipulative skills and an ability to use and benefit from our physical world. This is done through movement, games and indoor/outdoor play.

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT

Building creativity is something that happens almost simultaneously with every area of the curriculum. Movement, drama, music, art and cooking allow the children to explore sound, colour, texture, shape and to respond to what they see, hear, smell, touch and feel.

MONTESSORI

Our nursery also gives the children opportunity to work with other very special Montessori equipment in classes filled with activity and discovery which includes both the development of one’s own individuality and group participation in the following areas:

PRACTICAL LIFE EXERCISES

Children learn freely with adult help how to button their shirt, tie their shoes, clean house and other activities. Good manners are also emphasized and children learn to say “please” and “thank you.”

SENSORIAL EXERCISES

Building imaginations with real Montessori Sensorial Materials teach children to use their sense of touch, feeling, taste and smell as a key to the basic understanding of reality.
