Education and Curriculum
An extensive range of toys, equipment and resources
is available for every child at AVA enabling them to develop at their
own pace and encouraging them to work towards our early learning
goals. Comprehensive screenings are carried out on every child at
regular intervals and the results of these assessments allow us to
plan appropriate activities for the individual to ensure that they
receive tailor-made care.
The development of knowledge includes looking at
the environment, studying through themes and interest tables as well
as exchanging
news during daily circle times. We actively encourage children
and parents to participate by bringing in articles for discussion
as
well as providing any topics of interest. This exchange of ideas
develops active minds. We proudly teach the children basic sign
language and a number of our teachers are bi-lingual therefore giving
the
children the opportunity to learn basic Spanish and German.
Our children work to monthly topics that are planned
to cover all aspects of development and involve a wide range of teacher-directed
and child-initiated activities. We follow the outstanding Beyond Cribs And Rattles Curriculum for our Infants and Toddlers and the Beyond Centers And Circle Time for our Pre-school aged children. This
proves to be
helpful in the smooth transition from Pre-Kindergarten to full
time school and ensures continuity and progression.
In general, we aim to ensure that all our children
are prepared to start school with confidence, an eagerness to learn
and age
appropriate
social skills.
Naturally, we cater for children with a wide range
of specific educational needs and we are well equipped and trained
to work
alongside the
many specialists that are involved when a child has such specific
needs. We have experienced staff on site who will work in partnership
with the child’s parents and any involved agencies to develop
an individual action plan that will aid in the development and progression
of the child.
