Water play provides hours of rich and valuable experiences in deepening children's creativity and imagination.😄It assists children to develop hand eye co-coordination through pouring, spurting and stirring water, maths skills through volumes and measurement, science skills through floating and sinking and melting coloured ice. 🧊 We also use this time to educate the children on water safety and how to have fun while staying safe. 👏🏻💕

📚 At Clovel we have an in depth preschool program where the children learn how to read and sound out words with the help of I Love Reading and First Readers.📖 The children begin to understand key literacy concepts and processes such as the sounds of language, letter-sound relationships, concepts of print and the way that texts are structured as they read the books with their educators.👏🏻 We believe that this assists the children to give them a head start prior to starting kindergarten and formal schooling, boosting their confidence. We also believe that when children learn to read at an early age they expand their vocabulary and become more fluent readers. They have improved attention spans and better concentration. We aim to instil a lifetime love of reading in our children.💕📚
