Friday night me and daddy went for a pre-school meeting at Jamie's nursery to be told all about what happens from September onwards. Jamie is eligible for 15 hours funding attend pre-school. He will continue to attend on a Wednesday and Friday. We were offered some hours on Thursday but decided just to keep to the two days.
Sarah Howe; the Early Years Advisory Teacher from Birth to Five Service attended and gave a very interesting talk on how children play and learn at pre-school. It has certainly changed since mummy and daddy were at school!!
What was interesting was the concept that every child is different; develops and learns in different ways and at different rates, and should be treated as such.
It was also discussed how we as parents need to provide an input into Jamie's pre-school learning. This will involve making his key worker aware of his interests and any significant developments / changes in order that his activities at pre-school can be adjusted accordingly.
Overall, I think we are just about confident that we are already helping Jamie to learn through play, but it was a very useful evening in terms of finding out what Jamie will be doing in the next year.
