Little Pandas Early Learning Centre

Course details

From the ages of 02 months to 6 years all children at Little Pandas Early Learning Centre follow the Early Years Foundation Stage – the National Curriculum of England for all children from birth until they go into Primary School.

This, in turn, prepares the children and feeds into the National Curriculum at Key Stage 1 – which is covered in the Reception Class at Primary School. The Early Learning Goals are a series of aims within six areas of a child’s development and learning.

Personal, social and emotional development, which focuses on the children learning how to work, play share and become more independent in a group other than the family unit

• Communication, language, and literacy – this covers developing skills in speaking, listening, writing and reading as well as communication with one another.
• Mathematical development, using ideas relating to numbers, measurement, quantity, shape, and space in order to gain basic mathematical skills.
• Knowledge and understanding of the created world, where children investigate and begin to understand the things, places, and people around them.
• Physical development, relating to improving control and coordination of their bodies.
• Creative development, where children find ways to communicate using color, shape, sound, texture, movement, and stories.

Although the structured and formal part of your child’s day is important we give the unstructured and informal part, such as meal times, talking to each other, and outside play, just as much importance, because during this time your child is continuously learning.
