Philosophy: Staff reinforce golden rules with children, including 'listening ears' and 'kind hands'. This instills children with respect and positive attitudes to learning.
Activities: Children take part in planned circle-time activities, where they learn to sit and listen. Younger children develop their communication skills during singing activities.
