At Hilmarton Preschool we offer a stimulating learning environment that enables children to progress towards the early learning goals.
We achieve this throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which helps to prepare them for entry into Junior School.
Our teaching practice is based on the four key principles of The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) :-
✎ A Unique Child
Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
✎ Positive Relationships
Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.
✎ Enabling Environments
The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.
✎ Learning and Development
Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of learning and development are equally important and
inter-connected.
The 3 prime and 4 specific areas of learning and development throughout the EYFS are outlined below.
The Prime areas are:
✎ Personal, Social and Emotional Development
