First Steps Pre-School staff put strong emphasis on partnership with parents, recognising that you, the parents, are the child's first educators.

 

The Pre-School offers a natural progression in your child's development from our Toddler and 2 Year Old Programme facilities.

Children in First Steps Pre-School are introduced to the curriculum laid down by the Department of Education consisting of the following six areas of learning:-

 

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

• Language Development

• Early Mathematical Experiences

• Physical Development and Movement

• The Arts

• The World Around Us.

 

Each child will be allocated a "Key Worker" and this member of staff is responsible for all records kept on your child i.e. progress, planning of individual needs, compiling three progress reports etc.

 

Parent/Key Worker interviews take place in October, March and June at a pre-arranged time suitable to parents.
