The Routine at Brightside Preschool
Having a regular routine at preschool is important to help children feel safe, settled, and ready to learn. Our routine will provide the children with opportunities to play, learn and explore, inside of the classrooms and outside in the garden.
Our Curriculum
Brightside Preschool's curriculum evolves over time as it is guided by the interests of the children. Children learn through play and are given the freedom to explore the resources throughout the environment, accessing both the inside and outside all year round.
Throughout the year we will introduce the children to a diverse range of topics, including different festivals, and provide them with adult-led experiences to enrich their learning. We welcome parents and carers into the setting to share their celebrations with us.
Children are encouraged to learn to sign using Makaton, helping to encourage communication and language skills between children and with adults. The use of visuals and sound buttons aid communication for non-verbal and EAL children (English as an Additonal Language).
Partnership with Parents
Partnership between Brightside Preschool and our parents is vital for the development of each individual child. Parents know their child the best and we rely on their input to know how to meet the child's needs.
Our online learning journals provide parents with an insight into their child’s experiences at preschool. Parents can access regular observations and photographs that capture key moments in their child’s learning. These are linked to the seven areas of learning within the EYFS, helping parents to understand their child’s progress and development over time.
