The High Scope Preschool Curriculum is grounded in many years of research and has active learning at its core. High Scope encourages the development of important life skills such as problem-solving, social and emotional skills and self-confidence for the children in our service. The High Scope Curriculum follows a consistent daily routine which allows children to explore and learn in a safe and comfortable environment. The consistency of the routine is especially beneficial to the children who attend our service. The staff and children work together everyday to plan games, crafts and experiences with the goal of making our service a happy, exciting place to grow and learn.
Preschool
Our morning group cares for children between the ages of 1 – 6 years. We work from the High Scope Preschool Curriculum which puts emphasis on children’s autonomy, independence and active learning. This model supports children in becoming more confident and in meeting their development milestones. The children who attend the morning group receive nutritious breakfast and dinner each day.

Intergenerational Learning Project
The children’s project as part of our strategic plan has started an intergenerational learning programme with the children’s project and elderly people from a local nursing home. The children visit the nursing home weekly to participate in planned activities. This active learning experience between the children and elderly residences allow both groups to build friendships, learn from one another and have fun. Intergenerational learning has many benefits for the children, elderly people and their community which include; Improved health and well-being; Reduced isolation; Increased self-worth, confidence & feeling valued; Learning and sharing new skills; Build social capital and community cohesion; Promote Active & Heathy Living; Enhancing civic participation and active citizenship
