This area of learning and development helps your child to make sense of the world around them. It lets them explore and investigate objects and materials, encounter creatures, people and plants and question how and why things work. At our preschool we have a growing area in our garden where the children can plant, water and observe plants, fruits and vegetables, how they grow and the different shapes they make during the growing process. We provide children with the opportunity to design, build and construct with a variety of materials and tools. Your child will begin to learn about information technology through computers and programmable toys. Your child will also be able to find out about past and present events in their own lives and explore our local area. This area of learning also enables children to explore their own cultures and beliefs and those of others.
