Curriculum

AIMS OF THE PLAYGROUP

At Woodford Pre-school playgroup, we aim to:

Enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age

Encourage parental involvement

Provide a safe and stimulating learning environment

Reflect and value the different cultures that make up our community

Promote equal opportunities for all our children		 
 
 WHAT WE OFFER
 
At Woodford Pre-school playgroup, we offer a high quality curriculum designed to cater for the needs of young children. We follow the Foundation Stage curriculum for 3-5yr olds, and cover the six areas of learning.  These are as follows;
 
Personal, social & emotional development

Communication, language & literacy development

Mathematical development

Knowledge & understanding of the world

Physical development

Creative development
For each area there are Early Learning Goals. These goals state what is expected of children by the end of the Reception Year at school.
 
For each learning goal, there are Stepping Stones, which describe the stages through which children pass to achieve the goal. At Woodford Pre-school, the progress of each child is tracked using a scrapbook to record their efforts. The older children are encouraged to help with this!
 

 

Play is extremely important to young children and provides them with many essential skills that they will need as they grow older. It helps them to learn and develop through talking and doing.

We provide a wide range of play activities which enable the children to reach their goals. In some of these activities children decide how they will use the activity and in others, the adults will lead.
