Early Learning Centre Arcadia

Our curriculum is designed to integrate literacy and numeracy concepts from the very beginning. We believe that effective learning in these areas involves more than just providing opportunities for practice; it requires a deep understanding of the concepts we aim to teach. Our educators are highly trained to support and enhance the essential skills of literacy and numeracy through the use of play-based resources and interactive learning environments.

Early Literacy and Numeracy Through Everyday Learning

Literacy Concepts: From birth, children are immersed in language, and our approach to literacy starts with meaningful communication. We focus on engaging children in conversations about their immediate environment, using appropriate vocabulary to enrich their understanding. For instance, we might discuss the shape of an object or describe an activity with descriptive language, helping children become familiar with new words and concepts. Literacy development is supported by integrating reading and writing activities into everyday experiences. Children learn about print and its functions through interactions with books, labels, and other written materials, fostering an early appreciation for the written word.

Numeracy Concepts: Numeracy goes beyond simple counting and involves a broader range of skills such as measurement, spatial knowledge, and understanding of number concepts. At our centre, we incorporate these concepts into daily activities to make learning both meaningful and fun. For example, during a table-cleaning activity, our educators might discuss terms like “edge,” “side,” and “area,” helping children understand spatial relationships and measurement. This approach helps children grasp fundamental mathematical concepts through practical experiences.

We also focus on developing spatial knowledge by using everyday language to describe shapes and positions. For instance, while making roti, children might hear terms like “raindrop shape” or “curved,” which build their understanding of geometric concepts. Over time, children will learn more specific terms like “triangle” or “circle,” which are essential for later geometry learning.

Our play-based programs are designed to create a rich learning environment where children can explore these concepts naturally. By integrating activities that involve literacy and numeracy in fun and interactive ways, we help children build a strong foundation for future learning.

At Dooral Early Learning Centre in Arcadia, our dedicated educators are committed to providing a supportive and stimulating environment where children can develop their literacy and numeracy skills effectively. We understand that every child learns at their own pace, and our programs are tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring that each child reaches their full potential.
