I had opportunity to send Noel to morning kindy in late summer. Children are encouraged to be independent, and are to carry their own bags. Above, they are expected to put their own photo next to the school they will be attending. Noel's school right at the top. He had a bit of trouble reaching right to the top.
Next he signed himself in and also find his tag before he puts them on the board. Caregivers are to sign in on the adult sign in table.
There were all sorts of activities happening. Above, Mrs Bronwyn Glass the head teacher of BDK is supervising kids on the balancing bar thingie. Not an easy task for a 4 year old
Noel introduced me to the collage table, his favourite place. I can never set up something like this at home because I will just come home to a big mess with capital M in the house. Maybe when Abel is older ...
This is like the nature studies table. It has butterflies on the mirror and children are encouraged to study them

the kindy is so interesting with creative play instead of the boring table and chair, rote learning ABC. How I wish I grew up there hehehe....
This kindy is incorporates the reggio emilia philosphy, it's about inclusiveness.
I feel that the learning process is more holistic also.
What interest me is the type of 'play' that is availabe. The teacher actually change the activity throughout the year.
And they have very up to date toys too. Toys I cannot afford to buy myself:P
