Aims & Objectives
Our staff are all highly qualified and very experienced. Therefore, our aim is to provide a safe, caring, secure and stimulating environment, ensuring each child develops to their full potential in every aspect of their growth and development. To attain this, we plan, observe and evaluate, enabling us to provide a broad, balanced and varied curriculum tailored to enhance and stimulate the individual child’s learning. Offering a holistic approach to learning based on the Pre-school Curricular Guidance (NI).
Each child is assigned their own Key worker who will keep the parents/guardian informed throughout the year of their child’s progress and achievements.
Little Acorns is supported and assisted by a group of elected parents. We recognise and value the input of the parents and believe that their involvement is vital to the success of the pre-school. Our policy is to foster positive relationships between parents, children and staff. To achieve this we strive to make our group accessible to all children and families from all sections of the local community.
We welcome all children in their pre-school year and younger children who are approaching their third birthday. Parents are very welcome to come and visit us, to meet our staff, have a look around our happy unit and experience at first hand, some of our varied activities.
Our Pre-school children (those that are in their immediate pre-school year) are funded by the Department of Education under the Pre-school Expansion program. Non-funded places are available for younger children that will be three in the term they are admitted.
We are a member of C.A.P.S. and are registered with the South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust for 2 groups of 20 children in the mornings.
