Curriculum 

As teachers we view our roll as guides who nurture critical thinking rather than simply delivering instruction. We:

❖ Actively engage and talk with children eliciting questions, ideas, and interests

❖ Help children investigate questions and test ideas

❖ Provide scaffolding in all developmental areas

❖ Create themed provocations that support children's interests and developmental needs

In the classroom and outdoors we follow seasonal themes. Some of those are:

Fall: apples, farms, seasons, pumpkins, and gratitude. 

Winter: hibernation, arctic animals, ice and snow, space

Spring: water cycle, planting seeds, weather, bugs and insects

And many more depending on the interest of the group.

My teaching methods are inspired the Reggio Emillia and Waldorf philosophies. Additionally, I follow the year-long nature-study curriculum “Exploring Nature with Children” by Lynn Seddon, and Jolly Phonics.
