Seale Village Pre-school's ethos

 

Our pre-school embraces the natural world as a living classroom, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. We believe in the power of play to foster curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Through hands-on experiences both in the woods and our indoor hall, our goal is to:

• Nurture a deep connection to nature: Encourage children to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world, fostering a sense of stewardship and responsibility.

• Develop social and emotional skills: Promote cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving through collaborative play and group activities in both indoor and outdoor settings.

• Foster a love of learning: Inspire curiosity and a thirst for knowledge by exploring the natural world and engaging in creative activities both indoors and outdoors.

• Build physical and mental resilience: Encourage children to challenge themselves and overcome obstacles in a safe and supportive environment, both inside and out.

• Respect for all living things: Teach children to appreciate the diversity of life and to treat all creatures with kindness and compassion.

By providing a balanced experience that includes both outdoor learning and indoor activities, we aim to equip children with the tools they need to thrive in the world, both now and in the future.
