KIND WORDS FOR ALONIM PRE-SCHOOL
“If you are considering Alonim I would wholeheartedly say, go for it. The nursery caters for each individual and the staff truly love working with children. I would like to thank all the staff for looking after both my children and helping them grow into kind, thoughtful, daring and clever individuals, I couldn’t be prouder of them.”
– JESS COOPER (Parent)
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our teachers plan the daily curriculum around a theme, either Jewish or secular which normally lasts for one or two weeks. Within the themes, there is often the opportunity for interactive sessions with professionals from the community. Where appropriate we take the children on outings pertinent to the topic they are exploring, theatre or local places of interest.
We work within the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage. During our planning sessions we ensure we address all the areas of the Foundation Stage. The planning is ‘child initiated’ and we take into account the needs of the individual by monitoring/recording their progress and planning accordingly. The Kindergarten therefore aims to meet a child’s individual needs.
