Junior Kindy

18 months to 3years

Experiences

Within this age group our educators are planning activities that develop the integrations of two brain hemispheres, fine hand co-ordination, sense of direction, awareness of time and many other really important areas of development.

So often we hear parents say “When will they learn their colours, their numbers and letters” and although this is somewhat important they ARE NOT the markers for a child’s ongoing success and later learning. What I mean is a child may be able to recite the alphabet but unable to sit for a story or problem solve with peers.

Our service looks at children holistically across many areas of development some that cannot be seen nor measured nor sent home on a piece of paper but please note we are always thinking planning and evaluating all that we do.
Crestmead Play and Learn Junior Kindy rooms cater for children 18 months to 3 years and we have two Junior Kindy rooms.

In our Kindy groups we will be

 

  • Running
  • Playing ball
  • Drawing
  • Painting and some days it will be messy.
  • Water play
