Supporting your child’s development
Our award-winning Little Explorer classes have been developed in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework for the Curriculum and for Excellence 4 Capacities in Scotland.
We are one of the first organisations to bring the arts into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M) for preschool children across the UK. This means that your child can build a solid foundation of early learning to help them with their future learning.
There are seven areas of learning and three key ways for your child to engage in these interactive, educational and fun classes.
Communication and Language Development
Your Little Explorer class will give your child the opportunity to experience a varied language environment. This will help to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves, and to speak and listen in a range of situations.
Physical Development
Your child will be able to enjoy being active and interacting with the safe tools and materials. They will develop their coordination, control, and movement.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
We will support you and your child, to provide experiences that give your child a positive sense of themselves and to have confidence in their own abilities.
Literacy Development
Your child will learn to start making marks, get involved in stories and enjoy a range of sensory experiences to ignite their love of learning.
Mathematics
Your child will have the opportunity to become familiar with counting. They will start to understand and use numbers. Your child will also learn to identify and sort and match shapes and objects.
Understanding Their World
Your Little Explorer classes will help your child to make sense of their physical world. There are lots of opportunities for your child to explore safely, observe and find out about people, things and the environment too.
Expressive Arts And Design
Your child will be able to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities to move and dance too.
