In Westoe Village Kindergarten we apply a Highscope Philosophy. This enables us to encourage each and every child to become early active learners, which will help to create their own independence, identify their own preferences and develop confidence in discussing their activities whilst developing their social skills.
This system gives all children more choice and involving them in decision making, on a day to day basis, allowing the staff to plan around the children’s interests and needs rather than the staff planning what they think the children should be interested in.
The room is set out so toys and equipment are at the children’s level and during free play they have the freedom of choice to play with anything they wish, and can access it themselves.
Regardless of the children’s age each child will be assigned a personal key worker, who will work closely with you and your child to ensure all their needs are being met, whilst gathering observations and samples of photo’s and evidence of their pictures/work to create their own personal learning journal. We also hold a parents evening every six months where you can come in and find out what your child has been doing, however you are also more than welcome to see the child’s key worker whenever you wish.
