🎨 At Clovel, our babies love Volcano glad wrap painting! Our babies use their fine motor skills to press the paint down as they watch it move and create different shapes. 👩‍🎨 This enables our babies to build on the core finger muscle strength needed to eventually be able to write. ✍️💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#childcare #preschool #daycare #sydneychildcare #sydneypreschool #sydneydaycare #westernsydneychildcare #westernsydneypreschool #earlychildhoodeducation #childhoodeducation #children #ilovereading #muchandmove #learnthroughplay #schoolready #learning #maths #english #writing #outdoorplay #brainlinkage #babies #infants #clovel #clovelchildcare

Here at Clovel, we pride ourselves on the development of each child, this begins with brain linkage from as young as 6 weeks old 👶🏼. This includes, tummy time, working on a child's cross dominance through touch, crawling and then walking. This is vitally important for the child's development and boosts their gross motor and fine motor skills through things such as balance, hand eye coordination and overall strength. 😊️ This will help set your child up and assist them later in life with things like running, jumping, writing and throwing balls 🥰💕

At Clovel we are extending on the children's interests through Projects our current book project is based on one hungry spider. 📚🕷We started with brainstorming some concepts and extended on them. We created characters and aspects from the book through art and craft, sensory and manipulative play which included playdough, water and slime. 😁We incorporated physical outdoor experiences, numeracy skills through number recognition and sequencing, imaginative awareness and a myriad of other skills and activities. Projects are a great way to enhance and develop learning whilst also having fun. 👏💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#childcare #preschool #daycare #sydneychildcare #sydneypreschool #sydneydaycare #westernsydneychildcare #westernsydneypreschool #earlychildhoodeducation #childhoodeducation #children #ilovereading #muchandmove #learnthroughplay #schoolready #learning #maths #english #writing #outdoorplay #brainlinkage #babies #infants #clovel #clovelchildcare

💕At Clovel Granville we embed and showcase the children's sense of independence through elements on their arrival and through activities during the day. 😄 The children develop their self-help skills, build on their cognition, environmental belonging and awareness, and social consciousness and this allows the children to inherit a sense of independence while at preschool. 😍 To build on these skills we have a routine that has become embedded into the children's day which includes; saying "see you later" to mum & dad, 👋🏼 putting our bag away in our own locker, putting on our own hats, washing our hands, applying sunscreen, greeting our friends at the greeting station, placing our special news in the special box and our fruit in the fruit bowl. 🍎 Through these activities, we are building foundations that are setting the children up for their future. 😄👏🏻💕
