From the Sherwood Green Nursery
At Sherwood Green Nursery, we strive to provide your children with the best possible care and education on a daily basis.
The Curiosity Approach is one of the newest methods for teaching young children and is gaining popularity both domestically and abroad.
Lyndsey Hellyn and Stephanie Bennett, co-founders of the Curiosity Approach, have over 50 years of combined teaching and leadership experience in early childhood education and learning.
According to them, in actuality, this entails a nursery environment that is intended to resemble an extension of the child's home rather than a toned-down version of school.
The Montessori and Steiner educational theories, as well as Reggio Emilia, which emphasises self-directed and experiential learning, and the Te Whariki method from New Zealand, are just a few of the innovative educational philosophies that the Curiosity Approach draws inspiration from.
We didn't originate curiosity, they claim in an interview with the University of Birmingham.
The Curiosity Approach fulfils its purpose.
Be enquiring.
Be courageous.
Play.
In comparison to what you may often expect from a nursery, a Curiosity Approach early years environment appears extremely different.
There are no loud plastic toys or walls painted in vivid colours.
The physical atmosphere instead emphasises wood, mild colours, white-washed walls, and natural materials.
Children are encouraged to play with bric-a-brac from about the house, such as curtain rings, garden canes, hessian, and nuts and bolts.
But why should children play with commonplace objects rather than toys made with their needs in mind?
According to the Curiosity Approach, youngsters who are exposed to too many vibrant colours may become overstimulated. This notion is supported by research.
The Curiosity Approach acknowledges the importance of stimulation for a child's mental and emotional growth, but disagrees that providing them with an excessive amount of bright plastic toys will achieve this.
According to Lyndsey Hellyn, plastic items all smell the same, feel the same, and frequently have vibrant colours that overstimulate kids.
