At Trinity Pre-school we are aware that if your child is aged between 3 and 4 years old, this is a hugely important stage for your child's learning.

​

At this stage of their learning, your child will be mainly learning through play-based activities.  They will also be learning about routine and developing early literacy and maths skills, learning about the world around them and learning social skills.

​

Your child will begin to learn by doing things for themselves.  They will be exploring and investigating, watching and listening, talking and discussing, creating and communicating - in other words, playing!

​

Play is children's work and playing hard is very tiring!  Play can also be very messy as your child will be learning both inside with sand, water and paint and also in the outdoors with soil, leaves and so on, so you can expect some mucky clothes at the end of the day!

​

The pre-school follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.  This is broken down into three Prime areas which are noted as having significant impact on children's overall development and four Specific areas.
