Programme Fit

What this year is designed to grow.

Trust before performance

A young child first learns that school adults are safe, the room is predictable and a parent can leave and return.

The body leads learning

Touching, carrying, pouring, balancing, singing and moving build body confidence, attention and early language.

Small signs matter

Using a new word, joining a song, settling sooner or exploring independently can be meaningful early growth.
