Casa Dei Bambini | Development

Physical Development

In order to help with physical development, children are encouraged to participate in many of the physical activities carried out at nursery. These include group games with skipping ropes, hoops, balls and music & movement.

In relation to the finer motor skills, the children have many opportunities to use scissors, pencils, crayons, paintbrushes, puzzles and a wide range of both simple and more intricate construction toys, all of which help their hand-eye coordination.

The children are also given the opportunity to participate in music and movement sessions daily.

Creative Development

Each month a different theme is concentrated upon and the nursery is decorated to reflect these themes, thus giving the children daily opportunities to express themselves creatively, through art projects e.g. Painting, printing, drawing, modelling dough and craft making etc.

Personal, Emotional and Social Development

Very often when a child enters nursery they have only had family members surrounding them since birth, therefore, we the nursery teachers have a very important task to undertake. We provide a secure environment enabling the child to feel safe, thus promoting confidence within them, in order that they may reach their fullest potential in every area of our curriculum. As children grow they begin to develop friendships and interact with others better, learning to share and have respect for others in their environment.
