Hadleigh Parkside Pre-school's

CURRICULUM

Here at Parkside we believe that children learn best through their play. Education starts with the needs and interests of the child, allowing them to plan their course of study and it relies heavily on experimental learning. Promoting curiosity about the world and being truly in the moment with their environment allows children to notice the small details. This way at looking at things gives children a love of learning and gives the tools to flourish and be their best selves.

​

Like John Dewey, an educational theorist, stated we believe:

​

"Education is not about preparing a child for life, education is life itself"

​

 

The CHILD is our curriculum

At Parkside we do use the Early Years Foundation Stage: Development Matters framework. However we focus immensely on the child leading their learning. We serve the individual child. For they are the only curriculum we need!

​

We see, hear and understand the individual child. They are our driver.

"Staff are enthusiastic in their approach. They spend most of their time interacting with children, including during imaginative role-play activities."

"Children listen carefully to staff who ask them carefully phrased questions and introduce new vocabulary. This is particularly effective in helping children to become confident communicators and successfully enhances their speaking skills."
