The early years of a child's life are ones of rapid growth and development. Children enter their pre school years with a significant background of learning experiences within their families and with friends, neighbours and relatives.
During their pre school years, provision for children is provided in a range of settings including the private, public and voluntary sectors. Staff work in close partnership with parents in developing children’s learning. The vital contribution of pre school education lies in developing and broadening the range of children’s learning experiences leaving them confident, eager and enthusiastic learners. We utilise the following frameworks to ensure all children have the necessary tools to begin school.
* Birth to three
*Assessment is for learning
* Curriculum for Excellence
