Pre-Schooler <\/span><\/strong><\/span>Childcare Mayfield<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our Preschool programs, developed by Early Childhood Trained teachers, aim to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners.<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children learn early literacy, math, science, and social skills. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the social climate is positive and supportive, children are likely to become engaged and motivated learners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The strength of our Preschool Program has three fundamental elements:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. ADULT-CHILD INTERACTIONS<\/h3>\n

Effective adult-child interaction is essential to any successful early childhood program. We place a strong emphasis on creating a warm and nurturing environment in the preschool rooms, not only because this helps children form trusting relationships with others but also because of its impact on learning in all areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our early educators are skilled at encouraging children to use problem-solving skills to develop answers and provide just the right level of assistance to master a skill. Rather than statements that evaluate or judge, staff make objective, specific comments that encourage children to expand their descriptive language and think about what they are doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When children have social conflicts, staff stay nearby to be ready to offer support as needed (but intervene immediately to stop hurtful words or actions).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. THE DAILY ROUTINE<\/h3>\n

Our daily routine provides a consistent framework for the day with a balanced variety of experiences and learning opportunities. Children engage in individual and social play, participate in small and large group activities, develop self-help skills, and exercise their small and large muscles. The routine is flexible to accommodate spontaneous learning opportunities.<\/p>\n

3. THE ENVIRONMENT<\/h3>\n

Our Preschool Rooms are split into interest areas stocked with an exciting range of materials designed for specific types of play: dramatic play area, art and crafts area, block and building area, puzzles and games area, computer area, reading area, writing area. Materials are arranged in consistent places. The shelves are tagged with child-friendly labels so that children can get out and put away materials themselves, thus increasing the sense of independence and self-regulation.<\/p>\n

SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT<\/h3>\n

We deliberately create a preschool environment that encourages children to communicate, cooperate, negotiate, share and take turns. Some of the skills that we aim to develop include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Communication skills (saying what they want and feel, asking questions, inviting other children to play)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Skills that help regulate emotions (recognising their own emotions and those of others, controlling emotional outbursts, dealing with frustrations)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Skills that support conflict resolution (controlling aggressive impulses, suggesting alternative solutions, compromising)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cooperation skills (taking turns, imitating, reacting positively to others, adapting to the other’s point of view)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Independence and self-help skills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We believe social competence and emotional security are the foundations for each child’s future learning, and our preschool program emphasises developing these areas.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    EARLY NUMERACY SKILLS<\/h3>\n

    Children acquire mathematical skills and concepts through adult-guided experiences, which respect children\u2019s concrete thinking and need to learn through exploration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To encourage this understanding we provide activities that allow children to count, sort and match things, to recognise and arrange things in simple patterns, to measure and weigh things so that they begin to grasp the meaning of words and phrases like \u201cmore,\u201d \u201cless,\u201d \u201ca lot\u201d and \u201cthe same as\u201d and to develop a sense of spatial awareness as they put together puzzles and build with blocks.<\/p>\n

    Through exploring their environment, children start to notice relationships that are the foundations for mathematical concepts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    LANGUAGE AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT<\/h3>\n

    We provide an environment that is rich in print. There are words next to visual clues, alphabet charts displaying the NSW foundation script, labels for items around the room, children\u2019s name labels on display in numerous places, teachers modelling writing by transcribing children\u2019s thoughts and ideas and books available both in the reading corner and in other areas (e.g. recipe books in the home-corner, construction books in the block corner).<\/span><\/p>\n

    The writing centre is stocked with a wide range of writing and drawing materials. Staff encourage and support children to practice correct pencil grip and to fine-tune their hand-eye coordination skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

    As well as providing an environment that encourages literacy and language development, we also teach preschoolers phonemic awareness (letter sounds and recognition) through planned activities that are fun and interesting. We sing songs that rhyme with letters, play games to find things that begin with a specific sound, trace the sounds in sand and paint, and match pictures with alphabet sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

    One of the most important goals of our Pre-School program is for young children to understand and become aware of printed material and enjoy language and reading.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)<\/h3>\n

    Young children are experimenters and testers from birth.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    If we observe young children as they explore their world, we will see them using the following processes:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Observing<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Classifying<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Experimenting<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Predicting<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Drawing conclusions<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Communicating ideas<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Like adult scientists, preschoolers wonder how things work and what makes things happen. They are intent on exploring the properties of the living and nonliving things they encounter in their daily lives. Still, preschoolers\u2019 investigations are more random and spontaneous than those of \u201creal scientists\u201d and are influenced by their concrete thinking and limited range of experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Preschool scientists, like their adult counterparts, are eager to communicate their discoveries and share their explanations. They do so using their emerging skills in language, literacy, math and representation.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Our staff are trained to recognise and build on the science behaviours that naturally arise as children play and explore indoors and outside. They also promote science by planning and carrying out small and large group activities. These activities are structured around the concepts of science as well as children\u2019s science interests. For example, teachers may plan a related group activity when they notice that children are interested in the seeds in their morning tea fruit or plan an activity that teaches children concepts around floating and sinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

      CREATIVE ART EXPRESSION<\/h3>\n

      Artistic experiences contribute to children\u2019s artistic and creative development and a wide range of skills in other areas, including perceptual, cognitive, language, and social skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      We focus not only on providing children opportunities to create art but also teach children to appreciate art in all its form; this includes an appreciation of work created by their peers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Staff ensure that children\u2019s work is displayed around the room with care and respect.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Music and movement is part of our creative art expression. Music experiences include:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Moving to music.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Exploring and identifying sounds.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Exploring the singing voice.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Developing melody.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Singing songs and playing simple instruments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Opportunities to integrate movement and music with literacy, math, and other areas are included throughout the daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Creative art expression is an integral part of our program.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
