About this Program
Program Features
Our Moyenne Section is set up to guide and support children throughout their early learning journey and equip them with the skills and abilities to succeed at school level and beyond.
Mathematics is embedded in everything we do. For young children, sitting on the second chair, helping to set the table, finding a matching sock, cutting toast in half, sitting in a circle, walking through a rectangular door are all examples of everyday practical mathematics. Teachers support children to understand the purpose and the importance of mathematics in their life, and promote their confidence to succeed at school. Le Jardin Enchanté learning approach creates opportunities that help children develop an understanding of simple mathematical concepts. Carefully planned learning environments support children in developing their skills and abilities as mathematicians in action. Adult-guided activities make them realise progressively that what they are doing is mathematical.
Research is demonstrating the significant influence that daily reading has on children’s development. Our approach inspires a love for books and stories. It nurtures the desire to be a reader and a creator of stories. By spending time together unlocking doorways to enchanted worlds and exploring the connections between written and spoken words, we help children to grow into confident and lifelong readers. We bring together home and nursery life, providing parents with some of the theories behind developing children’s reading skills. We give handy Hints & Tips, recommend reading lists of Books of excellence and suggest fun activities for parents and children to explore together.
The journey to becoming a confident writer begins when a child experiments with creating different-shaped marks, be it with a crayon, or simply moving a finger on a steamed up window or through the spilt tomato sauce. Enjoyable adult-guided activities such as threading, weaving, sewing and printing are essential for developing the co-ordination skills needed to hold and manipulate a pencil/pen and master the complex skills of handwriting.
Our approach supports the magical journey from making a mark to emergent writing, then confident writer, laying the foundational skills that enable children to succeed. Most importantly, we nourish the inspiration and desire to write, exploring the connection between written and spoken words through play and communication.
