At Greenslade we aim to help every child to become a confident, independent learner who is willing to try new experiences and persevere when thing become challenging. Through a mixture of self chosen play, adult led activities and sustained shared thinking we try to provide each child with the best start in their early years to set them up with every chance of success in the future.
All staff work together to achieve the final goal of preparing the children (and parents) who attend Greenslade Preschool to be ready to move onto school with the vital skills needed for school and for life. We want children to become confident, independent thinkers who work well with others. We recognise that all children are individuals that develop at their own pace. All staff understand the development that needs to be encouraged during a child’s time at Greenslade and although we have outlined what we want children to achieve throughout their time with us it is impossible to give this a definitive time line. The keyperson will ensure that the overall approach is tailored to the individual needs and developmental stage of the children under their care in partnership with parents/carers.
