Values and Objectives

The Little English Kindergarten aims to create an environment where children can be safe, happy and motivated to learn. The teachers are there to listen and support the children. The kindergarten also wants to nurture an environment that is open, honest and warm. Children are always welcomed with open arms whenever they want a hug. The children should feel at home and secure while at the day care centre. The kindergarten has three main values, which are listed and described below.

Every child is unique and deserves high quality care and education

Due to the snall size of our kindergartens, the teachers can pay particular attention to each child’s individual needs. Each child is encouraged to fulfil their dreams and ambitions. All children develop at a different pace and it is important they receive personalised attention and support. We understand that building a secure self confidence takes place in the early years and therefore our experienced teachers encourage and support each child’s development. Furthermore, a good quality day care should promote healthy growth through plenty of exercise outside and correct nutrition.

Children have the right to play and have fun

Children learn most effectively when they are playing and having fun. Play is also an integral part in a child’s physical, personal and social development. Therefore, our teaching is play-based and outdoor learning is highly valued. The kindergarten’s daily schedule allows plenty of time in the outdoors. During outdoor play, children have the freedom to yell and run and they are encouraged to be more enthusiastic and energetic. Outdoor play allows children to experience the world in which they live through sounds, textures, smells, and hands-on interaction. Exercise is the foundation for the child’s well being and it helps to promote a good healthy lifestyle. Outdoor play also allows the children to gain good control of their body which enhances a healthy self esteem.

Caring for the environment, ourselves and for each other

The kindergarten will teach the children how to care for their environment by incorporating a greener lifestyle in the kindergarten. The kindergarten tries to reuse, repair and recycle the materials that are used in the day care centre. The kindergarten will recycle paper, cardboard, glass and biodegradable waste.

The kindergarten teachers support the children’s self efficacy and belief. They encourage children to use their own initiative and support them to become more independent thinkers. Children will be helped to dress themselves independently and taught how to have good personal hygiene.

The kindergarten adopts an inclusive approach that promotes cooperation amongst the children. The teachers will carefully design activities that develop team working skills. The day care encourages children to help others. For example, if somebody looses something, the whole class can help search for it. Furthermore, tolerance for others and different cultures is encouraged. The kindergarten’s motto is “All for One and One for All”. Children are taught to share and not leave others out of play. Bullying is not tolerated but immediately dealt with.
