A kindergarten is an important place for all those who come in contact with it, and ours at Cairnlea is by no means an exception to this. It offers an exciting environment, which provides many varying activities to stimulate your child's learning, opportunities for parental involvement and makes use of resources available in the community.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
The educational program is a very carefully planned one, based on our expertise as early childhood professionals, and observations of the individual child's behaviour and developmental skills. The program strives to fulfil a number of broad goals throughout the year. These include;
Independence
Awareness of the world around them
self confidence
Successful communication through variety of media e.g. Art, music, drama, language
Development of relationships with others
Development of skills
School readiness
The program is implemented in a play-based environment which will invite all children and families to experiment, challenge themselves, enjoy, develop relationships, grow together, and build positive self-images. The program is developed through observations of all children, and is based on each childs own individual developmental needs and skills. Learning through play will allow children to develop at their own pace, while gaining the confidence and skills needed to succeed in the more formal environment that they will come across at school.
All activities are carefully planned to take into consideration the children's interests as well as their level of development. Each days' program gives them opportunities to make progress in various areas of development.
At times throughout the year the program may be based around certain themes, such as colours, families, autumn, Easter etc; and many of the activities will be associated with the theme.
It is important that parents are aware of what we are doing at kindergarten so they can follow-up and carry through the learning at home. It is for this reason that the program is displayed in the centre. Parents are encouraged to check it on a regular basis.
