Nursery<br />

Our Nursery provides a peaceful<br />

and nurturing environment for your<br />

0-18 month old child. Our high<br />

teacher to child ratio ensures your<br />

baby receives full attention and<br />

individual care consistently each<br />

day. An inspiring environment<br />

offers a range of safe equipment<br />

and activities are provided that<br />

allows babies to explore, excite,<br />

discover, stimulate and experiment through their sensory play. Importance<br />

is placed on creating a strong bond between teacher, baby and<br />

environment. A primary care-giving system enhances this importance.<br />

Toddlers<br />

Our Toddler room is set up for<br />

children aged between 18<br />

months and 2-year-old children<br />

system as the Nursery children.<br />

Preschool<br />

Our Preschool learning<br />

programmes are designed to<br />

support children aged 3 to 5<br />

years old as they discover who<br />

they are so that they can learn<br />

to express their own opinions and<br />

nurturing ideas. Our environment<br />

offers stimulating, challenging<br />

and accessible resources that<br />

are inviting and aesthetic to the child. This specially created environment<br />

entices the child to explore, discover, manipulate and learn. The resources<br />

and materials offered represent a wide curriculum, including literacy,<br />

numeracy, science, computer, technology, geography, music, drama,<br />

practical art, art appreciation, and physical.<br />

prepared environment providing<br />

an education foundation for<br />

successful future development.<br />

The room is a well resourced,<br />

specifically designed environment<br />

set within the centre designed for<br />

children over 3 years.<br />

Within this prepared environment we are able to recognise the unique and<br />

diverse learning approaches of each child. We are able to provide an<br />

educationally, creative and evolving curriculum supported by the following<br />

curriculum areas in which each child is able to choose freely from; literacy,<br />

numeracy, visual arts, music and movement, study of science, computer<br />

and technology, geography, cultural skills, study of topics, physical<br />

education, health and safety.<br />

We want to play a very special<br />

part in your child’s life<br />

Our Programme / Curriculum<br />

Heathcote Valley Preschools’ programme is inspired by the Reggio Emilia<br />

philosophy. The Reggio Emilia philosophy views every child as strong and<br />

competent and encourages us to embrace each child's strengths, interests and<br />

differences through documentation of their thoughts, ideas, theories and learning<br />

processes. The documentation of these aspects gives the child a feeling of<br />

empowerment and a sense of pride in them selves as capable of constructing<br />

their own knowledge.<br />
