The activities and environment of our Pre-school Playgroup are suited to children aged 2½ to 3 years depending on their ability and need for challenge. There is a routine to the sessions but not the structure of Montessori.
The curriculum in this room is play based and the activities are child initiated based on the children’s interests as identified through child observations. While the areas and activities may be similar to those introduced in our Toddler Room they are at a more involved and higher level with elements from the Highscope approach to Early Years Education being implemented whereby the child is consulted on what they plan to do during the free play session.
Staff encourage children to develop their levels of concentration by planning activities at small or large group time which require varying levels of involvement moving on a scale of simple to more complex. Children are encouraged to be independent and all are involved in the routine by being nominated as helpers and leaders this builds self esteem and responsibility.
