Middle Learning Room
(3-4 year old children)
At Wakefield, our middle learning room builds on the fundamentals of our toddler program. We continue to offer children a secure, loving environment. A planned activity schedule incorporates weekly and monthly themes and is a building block for the process of a structured day. Educational activities and creative play time both contribute to the ideal balance in your 3-4 year old's development.
We believe learning opportunities can be achieved in a fun and stimulating way through a careful balance of structured stimulation and unstructured learning opportunities. Our focus in our ‘Middle Learning Room’ is on Exploration, Interaction and Dramatic Play. We teach essential basics ready for the introduction of the alphabet, numeracy, social skills and science projects, to name a few. Monthly themes, weekly topics and activities provides a fun learning environment. Your toddler will also enjoy music, dramatic play, social interaction and creative arts activities.
The children also have daily access to our creative ‘art studio.’ We provide a huge array of creative materials to encourage creative expression of a child’s internal emotions.
At lunch time all the children are invited to our dining room to enjoy a freshly cooked hot lunch. This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to socialise and encourage one another to eat certain meals they wouldn’t normally experience. After lunch the children enjoy the centre’s library area before returning to their learning rooms for a sleep/rest time. In the afternoon the children continue to enjoy our centre’s preschool program before enjoying our large natural playground area outside prior to families returning to the centre for pickup. Afternoon tea and late afternoon tea is provided to all children prior to families returning to the centre in the afternoons. Our centre is open from 7.30am until 6pm; providing an educational long day care centre service to all families.
Each child will have a personalised portfolio to record and visually demonstrate to families the development of your child. Their Portfolio will contain observations, photos, examples of your child’s work, as well as regular dialogue of your child’s day. At Wakefield our team love to involve parents and keep you up-to-date by providing overviews, parents letters, visual daily journals and a daily visual slide show of your child’s day.
