Four-Forest's Pre-School department gives young children their all important introduction to learning. We provide a caring, happy and stimulating environment in which every child matters.
We believe that every child has the right to an individual and high-quality education that encourages our children to become life-long learners.
From the age of three years an effective introduction to concepts which are central to successful learning is provided, without subjecting the children to any feeling of pressure.
Play is the language of childhood and is an essential tool. In a carefully planned setting, this tool is used to teach children how to learn, how to find things out, how to turn interests into knowledge and how to develop fully their natural aptitude for learning.
Classroom activities include sand, water, modelling, arts and craft, construction, books, games, songs, puzzles and role-play in our child-size two storey chalet. As the children develop, we foster their skills in reading, language and numbers to provide a secure basis for numeracy and literacy. Four-Forest's Pre-School follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
