Welcome to Reception at Little Bee Preschool! We are 'The Explorers' class.
In Reception we have one class and your child will be warmly welcomed into a communication friendly unit, where a consistent approach supports the development of communication and language skills. Our setting is vocabulary rich, with planned opportunities and interactions to develop and enhance language. We use a variety of texts to celebrate diversity and promote excellence. Developing independence is demonstrated through encouragement of children’s self-care and the provision of resources to enable children to make choices and respect equipment.
We understand child development and ensure there is a planned progression of skills within play. We combine well planned play opportunities and group sessions. Interactions between skilled practitioners and children develop communication and language skills, whilst promoting exploration and critical thinking.
Alongside this, we have a clear pathway for writing development, understanding the need for core strength, gross and fine motor development and making marks for a reason. We love to share our passion for learning and play with parents and host parent workshops and share our knowledge on Class Dojo. Above all else, we understand the importance of a healthy child, body and mind, this underpins our approach to active learning, well-being, physical opportunities, co and self-regulation and risk taking. Children are encouraged to demonstrate critical thinking and to understand the power of their voice.
