Our curriculum concentrates on the stimulation and extension of children’s
Capabilities enabling them to;
- Learn through carefully structured play and learning activities
- Explore, discover and gain understanding through planned worthwhile interaction and discussion and
- Learn how to work, play and interact with others outside their home environment.
Our playgroup (1 – 2 ) program enables your child to socially interact with children and adults other than their family members. They learn about sharing and getting along while having fun playing. The children are exposed to a variety of instructional play materials and art media. This prepares them for the nursery school setting.
In the Pre-nursery group (2-3yrs) emphasis is on sensorial development as children are given wonderful opportunity for all-round development in preparation for Nursery School. Class time allows for personal choice and “Circle time” promotes structure and routine.
The Nursery (3-5yrs) curriculum revolves around the knowledge that pre-schoolers are most responsive to activities which they are involved in with a “hands on” manner and according to each child's level. Our teachers design their classroom spaces and learning activities with this in mind. Our program continues to emphasize the importance of social skills. While personal choice and circle time are still part of classroom ethics, pupils’ activities are more structured. The core curriculum is enriched with additional subjects such as the introduction to ICT as appropriate to the child’s level. Emphasis is also placed on pre-literacy and pre-numeracy activities, leading to simple reading and writing before the child leaves Marymount Nursery at the end of the Nursery year.
Detailed reports on the child’s progress are provided daily. We have a strong commitment to parental involvement and Parents are also welcome to come in to discuss their child’s progress. Open days are held termly to afford parent opportunity to have formal consultation with the teachers.
