For Pre Schoolers up to starting School
Our class for the biggest little ones who thoroughly enjoy being gently challenged through play, activities and tasks. Pre Schoolers in the class demonstrate a deeper understanding of the world around them and mostly display this through their conversations and memory, for example they know that “today is a swimming lesson and tomorrow is Little Learners”
Little Learners classes encourage our grown-up children to follow more complex instructions to go with more complex and intricate activities, or those that require a greater level of skill. We specifically work on techniques that will elevate their learning and understanding ensuring they are school ready.
Instructions for each activity are explained slowly and mostly aimed towards the Pre Schoolers so they can begin to translate the words into actions. This gives them such a great sense of ownership and understanding. There is a strong educational foundation to our Little Learners classes that support Preschoolers as they approach school age.
Pre Schoolers best suited to this class will be at this stage of development:
- Confidently use their body in both fine motor and gross motor play.
- Can engage in conversation and recall previous events.
- Beginning to show an interest in playing with others for brief periods
- May find sharing tricky, but is beginning to understand taking turns or waiting their turn (not always, but sometimes).
- May be able to form pre writing shapes, follow a dotted line or use scissors.
- May understand 1:1 correspondence up to around 5, and recognize written numbers
- Can aim and throw a ball at a target or another person. Can catch the ball most of the time providing it’s of a good size (beach ball / small football).
- Can follow instructions that have multiple layers / directions.
Our Little Learners class runs together with Little Learners on Mondays in Turners Hill and Thursdays in East Grinstead. We run a dedicated Little Learners class in Copthorne on Fridays.
