Our Ethos

Here at Putnoe Woods we have an ethos of learning through play which we believe is the most appropriate and effective way for children of this age to learn. They are young and curious about life so we let them explore and engage in the resources around them.

 

As a preschool we take guidance from the children and include their interests in our planning. So, if a child shows a strong interest in animals we will plan some activities around this topic.

 

We encourage our children to engage in stories and books and use descriptive language when talking about things that interest them. This will be of enormous benefit when children begin to learn to read at school.
