Programme Overview
All of us at Flower understand the vital function that positive
experiences and meaningful learning has for all young children and
the way this significantly impacts on their future development and
academic life.
We appreciate that children's learning is holistic in nature
incorporating their cognitive, emotional, social and physical
development and by way of communication, thinking and problem-
solving. In this light we offer an indoor/outdoor programme with
routines that are supported by The Early Childhood Curriculum
Framework - Aistear and Siolta backed up with excellent
teacher/child ratios.
We view each child as an individual with a unique personality,
interests and abilities and this is reflected in the broad range of fun
and exciting activities that we make available to the children
through-out the day.
Our teachers support each child as they become a confident and
active learner that is ready for school, developing their skills to
learn, fostering their love of learning and to encouraging their
passion to do so through play, games, individual and small group
activities.
Communication, language acquisition and development is central to
our programme whereby our children are always encouraged to
express themselves knowing that they will be listened to and
responded to appropriately. At mat/circle time the children are
further encouraged to extend their language through songs, stories
show and tell.
Each child's respective learning journey is professionally assessed
and documented in their own personal learning portfolio and you as
their parent/caregiver are invited to contribute to it and to keep later
when they leave as an academic record and keepsake of their time
at Flower.
