Aims
Our aim at Whizzkids is for children to feel secure, valued and confident, developing a sense of achievement through learning which will be
a pleasurable and rewarding experience. Children participate in a range of activities, which take account of their interests and achievements and their developing
physical, intellectual, emotional and social abilities.
Children are encouraged to think and talk about their learning and to develop independence and relationships with others. They are given
appropriate periods of time for learning through group activities and one to one teaching.
Approaches to teaching include recognition of the value of providing first hand experiences, of clear explanations, of appropriate adult intervention
and of using play and talk as a media for learning. Children’s progress and future learning needs are assessed and recorded through frequent
observations and are shared regularly with parents/carers.
Our day to day sessions are extremely varied and are focused on the Early Learning Goals provided by the Government with the emphasis on learning through play.
These goals cover the 6 main areas of young children’s development and learning, and we aim to cover these areas through a wide spectrum of activities in each session:
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Developing confidence and independence whilst learning to concentrate and enjoy sharing as part of a group.
Communication, Language and Literacy
Communicating with one another and developing skills in talking, listening, reading and writing.
Mathematical Development
Using ideas about numbers, quantity, measurement, shape and space.
Knowledge and Understanding of the World
Investigating and beginning to understand the things, places and people around them.
Physical Development
Improving control and coordination of their bodies while learning to move and handle equipment.
Creative Development
Finding ways to communicate by using colour, shape, sound, texture, movement, music and stories.
