The Daily Routine
Although the routines of each room and age group will vary, the same aspects are contained in each. We endeavor to provide a home and family environment at the centre where the children feel comfortable and secure at all times and our daily routines reflect this.
Throughout the day the children will experience a number of different activities which are part of the educational and developmental programs operated by all of our staff.
Each room displays the routine for that room and is available for parents to read and questions regarding this can be answered by the appropriate staff members. In place are both summer and winter routines, which adapt to weather conditions.
Aims for Children
- To make every child feel secure in the child care environment.
- To develop each child's sense of self esteem.
- To allow each individual to develop their intellectual abilities at their own pace.
- To help develop children socially and emotionally by making them aware of the emotions which may be experienced, and teaching them to deal with those emotions in an acceptable way.
- To develop children's creativity and self expression through art, language and music with the emphasis being placed on the doing, not the end result.
- To help children develop confidence in their physical abilities by providing activities to encourage both fine and gross motor skills.
