Brixworth Centre Pre-School

Children's interests are very much based on the present, thus at the Center preschool, we strive to teach in the present and make sure that our preparation is spontaneous and specific to each kid.
Planning in the moment is all about seizing the opportunity for kids to advance based on what they're already really into.
Making written plans Because we follow the children's lead, this method of working necessitates little advance planning. We document what we have done to assist the children in moving forward each day by way of their next steps, and these are reflected in the children's observations on their online Tapestry notebook.
It is the duty of every one of our practitioners to emphasise development in observations.
By adding observations to their children's Tapestry journals, parents are also urged to share any observations of their children's "wow" moments at home.
We have three or four focal children each week instead of focus activities.
Parents will receive a letter through Tapestry the week before a child is selected as one of our focus children clarifying this and requesting you to submit your knowledge of your child along with a few pictures.
Every kid is a focus child once every three terms, giving parents the chance to provide input and discuss with us in a systematic manner each term.
The Early Years Foundation Stage is broken down into its seven components in this paper, along with the developmental milestones that each child should reach based on their age in months.
It also includes information on the Early Learning Goals, which describe the level of learning and development that kids should have attained by the conclusion of their school year in kindergarten.
This paper is also very helpful for supporting your child's learning at home because it outlines what you can do to support your child's learning at home at the start of each age band.
