Our children learn through play and we have expanded our planning to incorporate selected ‘Montessori Initiated Activities’. We teach through weekly themes; these are to enhance children’s knowledge and verbal skills. They are rotated throughout the year to benefit and consolidate your child’s learning.
At Shannon ChildCare our young children are encouraged to be independent, in order to provide them with ‘Life Skills’. Examples of this include the following:
- Help set up the breakfast / lunch / dinner table
- Wash their hands before eating
- Pour water / milk into cups
- Butter or spread food on their own toast using a ‘safe’ knife
- Help clear up their food after eating
- Learning to use a knife and fork
- Learning to brush their teeth
- Learning about healthy eating and food choices
- Learning to dress and undress
- Learning good manners
- Learning to be kind to one another
- Be confident and proud of their perseverance and abilities
All these are essential life skills, and hugely beneficial when learnt at an early age. Our aim is to give your child the best start in life.
