From the Saplings Rural Day Nursery and Preschool
To improve each child's abilities, skills, and overall development, we collaborate with families and the community.
We track each child's progress using the Revised Early Years Foundation Stage framework, and we offer the appropriate activities to support each child's progress toward the early learning goals.
Children grow swiftly in their early years, and the events between birth and age five greatly affect a child's chances for success in the future. A pleasant, safe, and secure upbringing is significant in and of itself. The combination of effective parenting and high-quality early education gives kids the foundation they need to maximise their skills and talents as they get older.
