LEARNING
CURRICULUM
The Windmill Pre-School is committed to making the Early Years experience fun and positive both for children and parents. Each child is encouraged to reach his/her full potential as an individual. We believe this to be achievable by providing a happy and contented atmosphere that fosters self-confidence, independent thought and consideration for others, as well as encouraging an enquiring mind.We offer a balanced curriculum of activities, promoting the development of the child’s concentration, emotional, social, physical and intellectual abilities. Particular emphasis is placed on encouraging children’s oral and listening skills, as well as individual expressions through Expressive Art and Design. The work brought home by children from the Windmill Pre-School will be their own interpretations, not those of the staff.
As part of the Pre-School provisions for children in Brill, we believe in the necessity of group play for local children from the age of 2 years and onwards. We also recognise the importance of equality of opportunities in the provision and standard of Pre-School education, regardless of the child’s gender, race, culture, religion or special needs.
Class two are presently introducing the letter and sounds programme into their daily routine. All children will be taking part in the letter and sounds programme and will work in small groups at an appropriate level. Each child will initially take part in one group activity a week.
Letters and sounds is a programme which introduces children to phonics and letter recognition. Brill school currently uses this system, and the reception teacher has worked with us to discuss how the school implement it there. This will help enable a smooth transition for the children to school.
