Routines and flexibility
We tend to like our routines and it’s very important for children to have consistency. It makes even adults feel more secure and gives the feeling that everything is under control. However, life rarely goes as planned and often throws wrenches in our carefully placed gears.
At CLP, we follow a daily routine, but we also learn to roll with it. We learn to embrace unexpected changes. One of the most important lessons working with children is to let go of any pre- plans and observe the situation we are in, in other words, if the children are having a great session engaged in deep learning, it might be that a story time gets a little shortened to have a bit more time to finish what we are doing.
Playing and moving
Children learn through playing and moving. Outside time allows children many opportunities to investigate and move in different types of terrain.
We have small group play throughout the week such as physical development, music, arts and story times. Children receive the tools and resources to express themselves freely and learn many new things.
Interaction and our community
In the centre of the children’s learning is their peer group and belonging to our community. We support this by going on walks in the area, visiting the library, theatre and neighbour parks.
We have a circle time at least once a day where children have time to discuss their thoughts, ideas and interests.
Through free play children learn to regulate their emotions. When children are participating in role play and other imaginative play with their peers for example playing in the home corner, they can dress up, go to the shop etc. learning communication and negotiation skills, as well as developing their imagination.
Listening skills and adult presence.
Respect and positive communication is very important. We teach by example , how to respect, be polite and taking others into consideration.
We listen to the children and their families wishes and needs and the children are always present when we are planning ideas for the group. Through observation, discussion, story and planning time, we make sure that every child’s voice is heard and the children are at the heart and centre in everything we do.
