Programs
At Radnor Nursery School of Devon our first priority is providing
our
students with a warm and nurturing atmosphere in which to learn, and
stimulating their curiosity with lots of fun and exciting experiences while keeping an eye on the PA and Local guidelines for Kindergarden preparation.
In the early years children make no distinction between learning and playing. Play is an activity a child engages in because he enjoys the activity, and if he is having fun he will be learning.
In the same way, reading to children regularly is the best way to prepare them for reading. At RNS books and stories are always available for children to enjoy, and story time is a part of the scheduled day. We read stories, look at pictures, discuss the story, reflect on what has happened, and predict what might.
Our curriculums are
tailored to the various age groups. Use the links on the left to
explore each
particular curriculum. A common theme in all the curriculums is to use
play and creative activities to develop social awareness, cognitive
activities, motor skills, language, and emotional balance. Of course
the
curriculums are flexible enough to take advantage teachable moments,
and to adapt to particular child and
class needs.
Throughout the year, RNS schedules whole-school events that highlight the season, such as a trip to a working farm, a thanksgiving feast, a holiday celebration, donuts with dad, and a mother's day tea.
