Our Little Oak Curriculum

 

 

At Little Oak Preschool we aim to give children a wide range of experiences, opportunities and knowledge for them to explore. We want every child to have first hand experiences and the ability to delve deeper into topics that interest them or find new ideas and concepts that fascinate them. Children deserve the ability to find what they love, learn about everything around them and take part in the world they live in. Rather than focusing solely on development achievements, we focus on bringing every experience, topic, theme and area so children can find what fills them with excitement and curiosity. 

For this reason, Little Oak Preschool focuses our curriculum on ensuring every child gets to access a rich breadth of vocabulary, experiences and opportunities to extend what they love and thrive doing. Our curriculum is Seasons and Celebrations, within this we cover: 

• Seasons we experience

  • Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, hibernation and weathers

• Celebrations from religions or cultures 

  • Such as Diwali, Chinese New Year and Christmas

• Celebration of people who help us

  • Such as firefighters, the army and police

• Celebration days throughout the year

  • Such as World Kindness Day, Mental Health Day and Road Safety Week

• Celebration of our community and the world around us

  • Looking at the people, places and events in the community and the wider world such as places in the world, recycling and transport

 

By filling our curriculum with opportunities to explore new events, ideas and topics, children are able to find their interests, celebrate their culture and develop their individual understanding of their place in the wide world around them, no matter their level of development. We want every child to be able to gain experience and knowledge of the things around them, as this will all aid in their general development and understanding of themselves as an individual. Children do not have to achieve just academically to explore the world, people around us and what they love and enjoy, we hope you can support us in bringing every experience possible during their time with us. So no matter your level of development, understanding, language, preference, background or culture we cannot wait to explore with you.
