OVER 2s All children are welcomed into our friendly preschool. Our experienced staff will ensure you and your children are settled and comfortable in our safe, loving and fun environment. At Swannanoa Preschool we believe that all children learn through play and our programme supports this. Daily Programme The preschool is always set up with a wide range of exciting and developmentally appropriate activities for the children. Inside we have puzzles, construction, playdough, arts and crafts, dramatic play and much more. Outside we have scooters, bikes, a fort, sand and water play and many more activities. All of this encourages our children to develop and enhance many skills. As you can imagine there is always something fun to do at Swannanoa Preschool. Throughout the day, we have a series of mat times. During these, the children enjoy learning a great variety of songs, books, music and movement and games. The children always enjoy these times. Four year old group time We provide four year old group time's. These cater for those children who are getting ready for the transition to school. In these group times we focus on the children's interests encouraging them to extend these further. Learning Journals Each child will receive a learning journal; this is a special book for teachers, parents and children to contribute to. Teachers observe and recognise the special moments in a child's life and record these with photos and stories which are kept in your child's learning journal. What a special book to keep! Of course the best thing to do is come and see it for yourself. This way you can meet the friendly team and look at our amazing environment. We look forward to meeting you.
