The Program

The program

All learning occurs incidentally and through programmed activities.  Learning occurs through play that is designed by our Early Childhood Educators to be fun and engaging.  We believe that all learning opportunities form the grounding essential for a good start to school.  Learning occurs through children experiencing games, songs, investigation, problem solving and creative art activities. Our educational based activities include:

• Small movement or fine motor skills important for the correct pencil grip which  include – cutting, drawing, collage, manipulating small objects, painting
• Social interactions and the development of social skills which include opportunities for children to: share, listen, speak, pretend and practice various social curtesies
• Pre-reading skills and phonics
• Numberacy experiences, number familiarisationfamiliarisation and pre maths experiences (simple adding and substracting)
•  Music, movement, art, Bible, worship and faith development

• Prep involvement in the school sport program during terms 2 and 3
