Dovecote Early Years Aims
AIM
At Dovecote we aim to provide the highest quality care and education for all our children thereby giving them a strong foundation for their future learning. We create a safe and happy environment with motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident, resilient and independent. We value the individual child and work alongside parents and others to meet their needs and help every child to reach their full potential.
As outlined in the EYFS ‘Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child's experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances.’
At Dovecote we will offer your child a stimulating, high-quality educational curriculum in the Early Years by:
* Providing a balanced curriculum, based on the EYFS, across the seven areas of learning, using play as the vehicle for learning
* Teach in a way that stimulates and builds upon curiosity, enabling learning through planned play activities.
* Promote equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice. We provide early intervention for those children who require additional support
* Work in partnership with parents
* Plan challenging learning experiences, based on the individual child, informed by observation and assessment
* Provide opportunities for children to engage in activities that are adult-initiated and child-initiated, supported by the adult
* Provide a secure, safe and happy learning environment indoors and out.
