In the preschool years, children become capable of understanding more about the
world around them and are constantly on the lookout for new objects, ideas and
activities. Their curiosity is endless as they try to understand the “why” in
everything.
Preschoolers are able to express themselves verbally and use language as a
social tool. Friends and playmates become important. Preschoolers enjoy engaging
in fantasy play together, imitating grown-up activities such as building or
playing house. Physically they are becoming more independent and prefer doing
things by themselves.
encourages this independence and aims to feed this curiosity. Our
centre is designed to provide hands-on experiences where children can interact
with one another, learning materials, ideas and events. We offer a wide variety
of materials that are accessible to the children and that support a range of
play experiences. Staff work and play along side them, supporting their
interests and developing abilities.
