​​Studies show that a child's brain develops more between birth to age 5 than at any other time in life. We also know that children who do not attend preschool are 50% more likely to start school behind their peers. Early learning programs will escalate a child's skills and abilities in key social and cognitive functions, such as:

​

• Fine and gross motor development

• Healthy eating and wellness habits

• Problem solving

• Increased vocabulary

• Scientific thinking and enquiry

• Speaking in sentences/conversation

• Emergent writing

• Mathematical thinking, counting and measuring

• Planning and reflection

• Eagerness/curiosity for learning

• Persistence

• Social skills with peers and adults

• Greater identity of who they are

• Understanding of people, places and environments

​

AT KiDZSPOT, our approach is based on customising learning so it is based on a child's needs. 

​

Our Education Program is made up of FOCUS GROUPS that are loosely defined by age. We say loosely because age is just a guide. Every child learns at their own pace, in their own style and in their own time. Learning has to be as individual as each child if we want it to be effective and life-long. 

​

Our understanding of how young minds learn and develop has changed greatly over time. We now know that age is an important indicator of a child’s development, but it is by no means the only indicator. It is fundamental to know and understand that every child is different and they will develop and grow in their own natural style. Streamlining children into educational programs based on age only is tricky and can be a major disadvantage for the child both now and well into their entire educational life and beyond.

 

Effective early education is based on a holistic experience that encompasses a child's strengths, weaknesses and interests. Effective learning can only take place when we feel safe and valued. Where a child is today is not necessarily where they should be; some children will be way ahead while others may need time to catch up because the way they process, absorb and adjust to information is different.  Our teaching strategy is based on bringing out the best in our children; we start by ensuring our children feel safe and valued in our care. We then transcend our philosophy of bringing out the best in our education program by developing and assessing a child based on their age as well as their developmental stage, their interests and their overall needs. So, a child's KiDZSPOT FOCUS GROUP is the Group which better reflects their current skill level and their existing development needs.

Towards the future

​

Everything we do is to prepare our children for school and a future of curiosity, imagination and a love for learning. It all starts from Day One. 

 

Our education program is based on the National Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), which is expertly crafted to stimulate brain development through interest and play-based learning.

​

Our weekly curriculum is made up of a range of activities mapped to the following 5 key learning outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework: 

​

1. Children have a strong sense of identity

2. Children are connected with and contribute to their world

3. Children have a strong sense of wellbeing

4. Children are confident and involved learners

5. Children are effective communicators
