At Fun N Play, our Early Learning Centre is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where tamariki can learn, grow, and thrive every day. Even when we spend the day indoors, our programme ensures rich, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences.
Teaching Values Through ANZAC Day at Fun N Play Early learning Centre
Today, tamariki explored the significance of ANZAC Day during mat time. At our childcare centre, we believe in fostering not just academic growth but also values such as respect, gratitude, and empathy.
As part of this experience:
- Tamariki placed poppy flowers near the tree.
- A wreath was laid to honour ANZAC soldiers.
- A quiet moment of reflection was shared together.
These experiences support emotional development and cultural awareness, which are essential in a well-rounded preschool education.
Building Communication Skills Through Storytelling
Our second mat time featured the beloved story Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Tamariki sang along joyfully, strengthening:
- Language and vocabulary.
- Listening and comprehension.
- Confidence in group settings.
At our early learning centre, storytelling is a key part of our curriculum, helping children develop strong communication skills from an early age.
Imaginative Play in Our Preschool Programme
Our preschoolers engaged in imaginative play, creating their own stories and social interactions. This type of learning is central to any high-quality preschool and helps children develop:
- Creativity and self-expression
- Social and emotional skills
- Problem-solving abilities
Hands-On Activities in Our Day Care Centre
Our toddlers explored sensory play through play dough and creative scribbling activities. These hands-on experiences are vital in a nurturing day care centre as they promote:
- Fine motor skill development
- Creativity and independence
- Early cognitive growth
Early Maths Learning Made Fun at our Early Learning Centre
Throughout the day, tamariki were introduced to the concept of long and short during transition times. At our childcare centre, we integrate early maths concepts naturally into daily routines, making learning fun and meaningful.
